Outstanding Walvis Bay Shore Excursion - Four of us were treated to an outstanding shore excursion with a wonderful guide named Vincent. Vincent grew up in Namibia & shared his rich knowledge of the culture, terrain, and local history. We started with a photo op of flamingos at the shore, and, after a short drive, we were already surrounded by sand and dunes. Of course, we stopped at the famous Dune 7 where Vincent encouraged us to climb all or part of it if we desired, but our group was content with picture taking. We traveled to the "moon landscape" with its beautiful hills and dark-ish craters; it was a bit eerie to behold. I enjoyed the Goanikontes Oasis where we stopped for a break, a beer (on our own), and a couple souvenirs. The Oasis seemed like a holdover from a more relaxed and simpler time. We proceeded to Swakopmund via an unmarked route known to Vincent which allowed more chances to take in the landscape. Swakopmund is a lovely seaside town with swimming, boating, and nice restaurants & shops. Time to return to our ship after a splendid day! Thank you, Vincent!
