Christmas in Namibia

Here are some pictures from Christmas in Namibia. Unfortunately I made the age old mistake of getting too drunk on Christmas Eve. There is no photographic evidence of this night but it involved 2 nightclubs, 2 bars, a drinking session on the beach and far too much white wine.

Anyway I woke up the next day to find 2 stockings at the end of the bed.

Stocking time (still drunk)

I had a terrible hangover/was still drunk but had already comitted to going sandboarding. Sandboarding involves lying on a bit of 6 by 4 and going head first down a sand dune. The MOJOR drawback of it is that there are no lifts so it also involves hiking up massive sand dunes in the heat, which doesn't mix well with a wine hangover. It was really good fun and by dune number 3 the adreneline had made me feel a little bit better. After a couple of epic fails (with a lot of sand in my mouth) I clocked 69 km/hour, which is pretty fast when your face is so close to the sand.

In the afternoon we went down to the beach for drinks, secret santa and sunset...
