I thoroughly enjoyed this report. We've been to Namibia twice, once to the southern area including overnighting in Swapkopmund, all self drive, and once to the northern part, driving ourselves to Etosha, then flying by private plane to various remote safari camps. It was fascinating to me that you camped with young children and that the entire trip was do it yourselves. The only place we totally crossed paths with you - ok, twice - were the seal colony and the sand dunes. Did you know that Chelsea Clinton honeymooned at Wolvedan? You have fantastic pictures of places we knew nothing about, including the abandoned diamond mind. Windhoek was a great place to buy business class tickets back to the US so we actually have been there three times - but the third simply an overnight stop and then onward on that great ticket.

I hope you write more because this really was a refreshing change from the way that I travel with a depth and wealth of things that you saw that I have not. I loved traveling with you.
