W Is for Walvis Bay


 Good afternoon, friends! We've got a flight delay from Walvis Bay, Namibia to Capetown, South Africa and I'm enjoying a very good cappuccino — and blogging — to pass the time. 

My visit to Namibia has been an extraordinary experience, with both desert and ocean. It will definitely be the subject of at least one other post, but for now a photo from both environments. 

The red sand dunes of Namibia are beyond belief. I had at least half a cup of sand in my sneakers, but so worth it.

During our cruise on Walvis Bay, this friendly guy came to visit us. It was overcast, but a wonderful time on the water. 

I'm glad there's been time to catch up — at least some — and now it's on to Capetown. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and taking good care!

Capetown isn't the best destination. I read that white folks are leaving South Africa and going to the US as political refugees.

Please do take extra precautions in South Africa, Carol. It is no longer a safe place. God bless!

What a great time you are having. I'd never even heard of Wallis before. Enjoy the rest of your trip

This sounds like a trip of a lifetime; I would love to visit the wildlife parks. One of my BFFs just got back from seeing the penguins in Antarctica and I told her I am thinking she will visit Africa next.
