After leaving Dune 45 behind, I was restless with anticipation. Having seen an endless amount of fascinating photos online, I knew our next destination held the promise of being the most surreal and bizarre landscape I would have the good fortune to witness during my trip. 

Since returning from my travels through Namibia with my sister (read full recaps here and here), I must confess I've been more than a little anxious. Anxious because I've been unsure whether any words I use to describe my experience would do the staggering beauty that exists within the country any justice.
