Balloons & Dunes


Day 19 & 20          7th and 8th October

The wind had dropped yesterday morning, so, much to our delight, we were able to do the Balloon Safari, with two balloons setting off at 6.15 am, with the sun rising just after we took off. 



Floating over the desert, hills and dunes – magical sights, never to be forgotten.  



Awesome champagne breakfast when we landed, but OJ for us as we were flying shortly after!

We flew back to Windhoek around lunchtime and were able to join up with friends Judith Goddard and Ann Nicholls and some of Ann’s family for dinner at ‘Joe’s’.  A fun evening and plenty of stories to share, as Judith and Ann have driven to Namibia from Jo’burg, camping all the way – if our trip is adventurous, then theirs is completely wild!!
Spending today sorting out in Windhoek, then it’s on to Botswana!
