Crossed for the last time, now back in the Northern Hemisphere.

Namibia - Walvis Bay

 Today we went on a coach trip - passed the Uranium, Lithium and Marble workings. Saw a plant that grows one mm a year, so must be 2000 years at least! Stopped to see the dunes, and have a cold drink on the way. A very pleasant day, and not too hot, we arrived in thick fog.

2000 year old plant!!

Cape Town - Boulder Beach

 A small visit by coach to see the Penguibs, followed by a coffee and wine buying, before boarding the ship to go through immigration to leave South Africa.

Coffee and Croissant!!!
