We visited Fish River Canyon:
The 2nd largest canyon in the world (after the grand canyon).
The Sossusvlei sand dunes and dune 45:
Can you see the grass growing on the dune? It's not normal. The desert has actually gotten too much rain in the last years, disrupting the natural ecosystem of the Namib Desert.
And in Swakopmund, again, I went skydiving, again! Erin and Kate went as well. Erin for her first time and Kate for her 11th! I asked if I could do more tricks in the air this time and we spun and flipped and tumbled! Weeeeeeee :D

Jenny, Rowdy and I also did a surfing lesson. We had dolphins and seals swim close!
After Swakopmund, we went to the Spitzkoppe Rock formations. As I was walking to the top of one I passed a baboon. We were close to each other and we both watched each other watching each other. I slowly passed him and climbed up to the top of the rock formation. Then he started peeing. Then he just sat there as the sun went down and we both watched the sun set together :
Baboon peeing
Sunset hitting the rocks and my feet. I've found that most sunsets aren't that amazing but the way the light hits the scenery is spectacular.
The next day we went to the Cape Cross Seal Colony. The seals were adorable but, boy, did they stink!:
Awwww...
Epic!
Lots and lots and lots and lots of seals
The next morning, we took a drive in the back of a truck to seek out wild cheetahs and then pet tame ones!
Standing in the back of the truck like cattle for our early morning cheetah search.
And we saw cheetahs (and they saw us)!
After our drive, we were able to pet tame cheetahs. Or, at least, as tame as they get. One the the cheetahs name meant 'naughty'.
They purr!
'Naughty' head butted me just like my cats do back home. She was so cute :)
