9/27-10/3 Sesriem, Namibia, - Uis, Namibia

After more than 3 hours on sand roads we pulled into camp only to find out we had been riding on a flat tire for a while. Due to the roughness of the roads, you really can’t tell any difference between driving on a flat tire and an inflated one. The result was a well shredded tire. With some help from Paul, our Trip Leader, we got the tire changed. Next we drove to Sossusviei National Park and climbed a 360 foot tall red sand dune and explored Sesriem Canyon where we saw a family of baboons. At Walvis Bay we took a great wildlife cruise and saw Giant White Pelicans, dolphins, and SA Fur seals. I caught Traveler’s Diarrhea and took 3 days to fully recover. Pat also got sick for a day.
