Our first full day in Swakopmund, we were taken to Walvis Bay for a "whale and porpoise" watching cruise. There was much to see, not least the scores of large vessels parked in the bay. Apparently, its parking rates are low, and the current downturn of activity in North African oil and gas exploration has idled many ships.

| Some fairly weird-looking ships, too |

Later, from the desert; can you imagine the disappointment
when, having survived the shipwreck, you learn that you have
landed on the world's oldest and nastiest desert? That it's not
just a sand beach? |

A baker's dozen different ships. At least they are not boring!
