Swakopmund

Today we are off to Swakopmund (swa-cop-moond).  Along the route we stopped at a resort/oasis for drinks and naps.  The staff was gracious and helpful.

These tiny reptiles were common, especially near the pools.

Namibian Rock Agama

Female Rock Agama...Agama planiceps

Striped Skink

Trees are gone.  A straight road through sand to the sea leads to Swakopmund.

Swakopmund faces the Atlantic Ocean, so it can be a lot like Santa Cruz...cool, foggy, breezy.  We stayed four nights and walked the beaches every day, ate pizza at the Secret Garden Bistro, and drank Hansa beer and watched cricket at Kucki's Pub.

Jellyfish

Hubbly Bubbly???

Fork 'n Alice...I am not sure if they served food or what?

This young boy must have jumped off this structure more than a dozen times trying to perfect his flip.
