What to do in Walvis Bay you ask. Port calls give enough time to get an overview and today eight of us organized a taxi tour. Four hours and $300 gave us a trip to Dune 7, Swakopmund, Flamingo Bay and we saw the salt production. Note a ship excursion would be around $300 per person and you share your time and place with 40 others on a large bus.
Dune 7 is
notable as the seventh highest dune in the world or the seventh dune encountered
after the Tsauchab River and is a recreation area. You might climb to the top, 1300 feet, and
slide down or picnic there. One giant
sand box.
Swakopmun,
35 miles north of the port, is the tourism pull for not only cruise ships but
across Africa. Met a family from Zimbabwe.
Walked the promenade
along the Atlantic.
It
is a seaside town with German influence in the architecture. We found the area charming. Friendly people
and a European feel with sidewalk cafes.
