We woke up extremely early today, 4:45am and left at 5:15am. The area is one big desert and is covered with sand dunes. Dune 45 is where we drove to that morning, it was named because it is 45km from the sesriem campsite. Climbing to the top was tough because the sand was so soft. Our feet would sink every time we took a step. However we all made it to the top , just in time to see the sunrise. The view was spectacular. One of the nicest things I have ever seen. After that we visited the petrified forest. It was a short hike through the desert in 30 degree weather. In the afternoon we stopped by this place which was famous for its apple pies. I had a slice and it was delicious. Then we made our way to our next destination: Namib Desert. When we got there a few of us did a bushman walk where a local named Franc took us for a drive on his 4x4 and taught us about the area and about the bushmen people. His stories were quite interesting. That night we got a chance to sleep outside, underneath the stars. Around 15 of us slept outside while the other 5 decided to sleep in tents . It was really cold, I definitely did not put on enough layers, but it was such an awesome experience. There was a herd of zebras walking around the place where we slept. It was hard to fall asleep because they were making so much noise.
