With a blown out tyre the previous day we left our overnight campsite with no spare tyre but ready to tackle one of the world’s most dreaded coastlines. The Skeleton Coast lay ahead and as we departed I put on the Prodigy song Minefields from my ipod. Blaring; “THIS IS DANGEROUS!” as we drove out of our campsite at 20km/hr.

Blood or not
No it is not blood. Around the neck is a neckless that is common and sold thorughout parts of Africa. They are usually bright colours.

Now that tourism is there. I think they realise the benifit of posing for a few photos.
