When the War is Over

Skeleton Coast (Cape Cross) & Namib Desert (day 61)


Today was spent traveling through the Namib Desert towards the Skeleton Coast. The scenery and atmosphere was in complete contrast to anything else I have seen in Africa. When I imagine what the world would be like after war and atomic bombs had ravaged our planet this is what I see.  

The Skeleton Coast is where the Namib desert meets the coast line. The shore was scattered with bones, there was rocks and sand as far as the eye could see. A grave yard stood amongst this ery scenery. I kept thinking I would see my own name written on one of tomb stones like you would in a horror movie.

The Skeleton Coast is definately not somewhere I would like to be stranded alone at night.
