Hot and cold ... or make that cool

It seems like the Namibian desert never ends until ... bam ... it does precisely that just shy of the Atlantic Ocean. The change from the sweltering heat of the sands to the lush green and cool of Swakopmund (a coastal town of German origin) was staggering. After four nights in our tents, we spent two at an inn. With beds. Nice change.

Ruben from Germany complains about the cold. OK it's cool (like 22C (70F)) compared to the heat of the desert, but let's not forget the weather back home in the far north. Freezing. Sub-freezing. Sub DEEP freezing.

No one is interested in the activities on offer (for pay) like skydiving, or quad biking, a week into our trek. We all just want a day off, hang out, shop and have beers.

Doug especially likes the quotes from the menu at the Village Cafe, like ''I do not have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine.''

Eva has an upset stomach and tries the German cure:. (See video)
