In full view

Elim dune near Sesriem in the Namib Naukluft National Park

Our second crossing of the Tropic of Capricorn - the first time was in Australia

Camping spot at Sesriem

The starkly beautiful Deadvlei (dead pan) in the Namib

Dune 45 (45km from Sesriem)

Kolmanskop, near Luderitz, where surface diamonds once were nearly as plentiful as sand. The diamonds ran out, the sand didn't and it's now a ghost town

Favourite passtime - in the garden of Hotel Helmeringshausen, Nowhereville

Luderitz, on the coast. A million miles from anywhere

Fishriver Canyon near the border with South Africa. A gruelling 5-day, 80km trek which is closed to hikers in summer

Looks like an amazing set of places - I'm guessing you're still finding sand in every pocket tho.
