When I mentioned that I was going to the country of Namibia to spend time in the world's oldest desert, people asked questions such as, "Where is that?", "Why?", "Are you crazy?"
I somewhat expected that.
After a 15 hour flight from ATL - JNB and then a 2 hour flight to WDH, I was in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
I hired a driver for the 5 hour trip to the Desert Hills Lodge in the Namib Desert, which has been there for 55 million years.
Breathtaking scenery kept my GoPro camera busy.
I climbed the world's highest sand dune, took a ride in a hot air balloon, became isolated on the top of a mountain, climbed into a canyon, saw several native animals, and enjoyed the magnificent sunsets. 
Remember these names. Better still, search on Google and YouTube:

• Sossusvlei
• Deadvlei
• Namib Desert
• Sesriem Canyon

It is a unique place on our wonderful planet and needs to be on your travel bucket list. I will have YouTube videos posted soon.
In my quest to do as much as I can before I throw in the towel, this was well worth the time and effort.
Memories of a life time.
