Down the dunes in Swakop!!

Total luxury!  Camping on grass!  No dust!!  In Swakupmund we checked in at Alte Brücke, private shower facilities and no dust!  But then also in town and no beautiful few as when camping in the desert dust!

We relax outside in the sun for a while, catching up with what's going on in the rest of the world and read about the horrible terrorist attacks in Paris 2 days ago.  Almost feeling guilty for feeling safe here on the other side of the world.

Monday morning we are picked up by Beth of Alter Action for our morning of fun in the dunes! 

Due to lack of time, experience and balance, we chose for lie down boarding, shooting down the dunes head first.

7 times down with max speed of 63 km/h (me) and 69 km/h (Maarten).  And this is the 'down side' of the experience which is the fun part! 


Beth demonstrates how grown ups do it!
Friends of Beth have chosen today as the day to shoot the Alter-Action happenings on the dunes for a Smithsonian film.  Even we are being filmed in action!!  (probably only to be cut later!)

Walking back up again!
