TEAM SA LOGBOOK - Thursday 16th April Day 9

16. April – Walvis Bay/Namibia - Monde

The day started with the normal routine galley, colors, cleaning station,and afterwards we were allocated in groups of 9 each group. We met Mr. Allman and he then told us what was expected of us for the day, and the events ahead of us. We then drove for some time to the desert until we reached two unique plants one of them was the dollar bush,which is one of the water supply for desert life force, it has a salty taste, and the other plant is 2000 years basically its self sustained ,and we drove again and wallah we saw the most beautiful mountains ever , no wonder the call them the moon ,the are splendid we stayed there for an hour or so observing the breath taking scenery,we again drove for about 50 km,until we reached the sand dunes again,we were greeted by two guys and they took us through the whole process of sand boarding , and we resumed it was fun really fun some also had their time to speak with nature to inter- act with mother nature. The day ended with some team sand boarding with Felix defeating us all he was a natural on the board.

We again went back and showered and next day we left, we had the best of our lives in Namibia though at first we were land sick, but Namibia is very interesting its enigmatic at one point its like abandoned town , at one point its so exotic to describe it will be almost be quixotic to define.
