We arrived at Walvis Bay and walked around for an hour trying to find our chalet, it was cool although the place was very dead and quiet, so in order to spice things up we went quad biking in the desert. ... Wow what an experience.Oh I forgot to mention in my Cape Town entry that I got my neck pierced again! One more to go!
