Back out this morning looking for flamingos... and returned to the hotel to find them immediately across the road... typical!
Lunch was at a restaurant highly recommended for its calamari. It was so excellent it has ruined calamari for me. Forever. Definitely the best I have ever tasted… so good I also had it for dinner as well. We are overdosing on fresh seafood here.
We drove to Swapkopmund for a look around this afternoon. A German town established around 1902, it still has quite a few of the old buildings... but I didn't feel like photographing them today. We spent a bit of time at the beach, which has a very cool jetty with a restaurant at the end that we had dinner in. It's a lovely beach but the waves were vicious, I imagine there would be quite a few rescues during the summer. I saw one family playing about in the water and just kept watching, waiting for the inevitable. Sure enough - they got wet.
We are heading back inland tomorrow, so it'll be back to eating Oryx and Springbok I imagine. I'll also be off the grid again for a couple or 3 days as we are camping/glamping at Spitzkoppe.
