We first went along the Walvis Bay promenade to see the flamingoes and pelicans, and then on to the pink salt lagoons near the salt processing factory.
We then went out to Dune 7, Namibia's tallest sand dune, and had a good half hour to climb up it (or some of it). The dunes then gave way to the desert, and we saw the welwitschia plants, and heard about how you could survive in the desert using certain plants. We then drove around the Swakopmund township, visited a day nursery and a food kitchen and learned about township life. We then went into Swakopmund town, and had about 90 minutes to look around this beautiful old town. Altogether a great day out.
