Northern Namibia.

Continuing north up the coast of Namibia is stunning. Driving through the Skeleton Coast to Sossusvlei have you questioning the reality of global overpopulation. Where is everyone??

Highlights on this leg were seeing one of the 100s of shipwrecks (some above water, some below) along the hazardous Namibia coastline.

One group who finds the coastline homey and habitable: seals!

Cape Cross National Reserve is home to thousands and thousands of sleek, barking, bleating, very smelly seals. Scroll down for videos of this righteous gathering of aquatic mammals.

The weather was scorching and our dirty clothes were piling up so we decided last minute to make a 2-day pit stop at a hostel in Swakopmund to sleep in beds, do laundry, and use the internet connection to catch another Timberwolves game!
