I wish I had booked this for more than one day. It’s amazing how beautiful and yet how empty and desolate this place is (except for seabirds and ~60,000 seals.
Last night was insane. The winds picked up and were buffeting the room to the point where I wondered if I’d fly away were I to go outside. The waves were so relaxing as they crashed to shore not 50 feet from the room.
Today, it is into the bush. A 5 hour drive followed by a 2 hour 4×4 transfer to a mountain tent camp. Sat phone is charged, hopefully I won’t need it. Change in route too. Between the misty rain and the wind the salt road along the coast may be slick like black ice. So instead of driving the coast for a couple hours and then overland, I’ll backtrack south and then head overland through some of the tallest mountains in Namibia. Game on!
