Swakopmund - Sunday 28th Feb

Jan , Joey and I were ready go at 9am when Beth from the sand boarding company picked us up at 9.30 for the 20minute drive out to the dunes for the 4 hour adventure.We started with a brief followed by the walk up the dunes

Had 6 dunes to do with various challenges on each one and trying to reach speeds of up to 70kms per hour which they measure on a speed gun - I got up to 64kms per hour 

With Jan the pro getting to 74

Even Joey had a few goes and then a tandem with the instructor whilst Jan and I did one as well

After being covered in sand from both the sand boarding and the wind we finished up with lunch and a few beers in the dunes 

followed  by a celebratory jump.

Back home for a long shower to clean out the sand and relax for the afternoon .

All over town and out on the freeway they have amassed thousands of canary date palms which gives the location a very island tropical look,would have been great to be part of the project moving and planting the palms .

We headed back to the sand boarding shop to view the photos and video from the activity at 6pm followed by  a 10minute walk back the the oyster and wine bar for a repeat of dinner from the night before . Oysters and corconda for entrees followed by mussels for Jo and tuna sashimi for me - tuna heaven

We would like  to spend a few more days here trying other restaurants so maybe next time.
