*~Namibia - Part 5 - Sesriem~*

Our next destination was Sesriem. It was quite a long drive, but the scenery was beautiful. We stopped in Walvis Bay where we headed to the 'lagoon' filled with beautiful flamingos. I haven't seen so many of them in real life... We passed Dune 7, which is one of the tallest dunes in the world. We didn't dare climb it, but the closer we got to it, we saw more and more people on journey up to the top. They looked like the equivalent size of ants, it was kind of scary... But, incredible... We then reached the Tropic of Capricorn mark and stopped for a quick pic :)

We then stopped in solitaire for the very famous Apple Pie by the biggest baker I've ever seen. The bakery/ restaurant and hotel looked a bit  like a hillbilly ranch, but we weren't going to let it ruin our craving :) It was packed with tourists, some very rude ones, but as we headed for the counter, a fresh batch had just been removed from the oven. It was divine and worth the wait! :)

We finally arrived by Betesta campsite which was about 30min from Sesriem. It was beautiful. We immediately set up camp and I then realised that we were back to the plague of 'vet-gat krieks'. My night was about to get interesting, but luckily Kylan knew...the bodyguard was ready ;)


Setting up camp for our next 2 nights at Batesta campsite!

We started the fire and got ready for dinner. A long day on the road with a well-deserved good nights' rest... The next day would be action packed in Sesriem!
