Swakopmund February 2007

A lone surfer surveys the waves. We watched him for a bit, but he never actually did any surfing. Just sort of stood there staring at the waves.

At Dune 7 we could not even get out of the car! It was so windy! I have actually never felt wind so strong. It came across the desert from the East. I did get out of the car at one point but was literally lifted off my feet. I ran back to the car which was also being shaken by the wind!!!

Spectacular sunset from the pier at the Tug. We had another great dinner of fresh seafood.

This is a rarity. I found a mouse playing with a cat. Moreso, a cat playing with the mouse. The cat was not trying to eat the mouse but just pawing it around. We watched them for a good 10 minutes. It was tempting to help the mouse out by scaring the cat away, but we felt it best not to interfere with the natural order of things. I know this cat to be one of many strays that live outside of the Tug restaurant. Presumably, they get handouts from the restaurant to survive.

My new friend Joey from the United States. Joey comes from Phoenix, Arizona so is used to the kind of desert environment found in Namibia. He says that alot of the sights seen here are very close to those seen back home. Although the dunes against the Atlantic Ocean are a real rare sight.

Only one man can save you from a bad case of the munchies.
