Welcome to Namibia
The day began early in Windhoek and we were quickly on our way to the coast. It was a lovely day filled with Flamingoes, pink salt flats, the ocean, and of course the sand dunes. The humongous sand dunes are extraordinary, with paragliders and sledders on the slopes. Our guide Ricky was very knowledgeable and allowed us plenty of time to explore and to see things that you usually wouldn't be available. He was so flexible, offering us choices for how we spent the day. Our lunch was in a lovely restaurant and we had delicious fish. On the way back to our hotel in Windhoek we stopped at a handicraft market where we were able to view and buy the many minerals mined in Namibia. It was a wonderful introduction to the country.
