You never disappoint DanielW. Some of those shots from the helicopter are stunning. After reading about Nambia the other day and reading this report it is now firmly on this list.
Thanks for a enjoyable report!
Thank you,

. You'll definitely have to head to Namibia. The heli-flight is a great option too to see some amazing scenery.

Your pictures are always breathtaking but this time I am out of words.
Keep these reports coming!
Many thanks,

Thanks,
Palal. Bummer about the car crash, I can see how easy it would be to lose control on the gravel roads.

I know I am repeating myself, but... what about a book ??
Cheers,
londonfog. The helicopter flight was super fun, especially with the lack of doors, had to make sure I held on to the camera though! Still have to do a book, perhaps when I get sick of all this travelling

1. How long did it take you to walk up and then down the Dune 45? Was it hot? Tiring?
2. What is the QE2 doing in Dubai? Is it a hotel now> I went on it in the 1980s. Nothing in comparison to the new ships today.
Thank you,
Bretteee. The walk up the dune wasn't too far, maybe 20-30 minutes. It wasn't too hot at 7am in the morning. At midday almost no one was climbing due to the heat though. As far as I know the QE2 is effectively mothballed at the moment.
