No this is not stolen from Nat-Geo...
Highlights from Namibia:
• Etosha National Park
• Cheetahs on the prowl
• The absolute beauty and defiance of the Himba people
• The Atlantic Coast (from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic)
• Sand Dunes as fas as your eye can see OR your ATV can ride!
• Tandem Skydiving from 10,000 feet - crazy!
• German Pastries (German colony after all!)
• Getting the truck stuck (for 10 minutes) - the first and only time on the trip!
• Amazing food and wine in Swakopmund
• We now know what 50C feels like... and survived!

Until Next Time…
