Day 3, Tour of Namibia: Should have been a movie Moment

After spending yesterday exploring the absolutely amazing sand dunes (wonderful to climb up so high without fear of falling or hurting yourself), digging our toes deep into warm, red sands, we left Sossusvlei yesterday morning to head towards Swakopmund, our current stop. But our poor Jeep, jumping through ruts and spinning through sand, decided it had had enough. So it stopped working on us, and marooned us for 6 hours (they told us it would be 2 hours) in a place called - I'm not kidding - Solitaire. A petrol station in the middle of desert, with a couple of lone trees and a dingy little shop, in the heat of the day.

I think I have definitely been welcomed to Africa.

What will days 4 -10 bring?!?!
