Set off this morning along the Skeleton Coast, named for the innumerable shipwrecks the shores have taken over the years, and travel past the Brandberg Mountain, the highest in Namibia.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
