Walvis Bay - the return









I've blogged about Walvis Bay before - so here are just a few more photos to illustrate again the contrast between the richness of the marine life there and the barreness of the land - it's an amazing moment when you reach the sea after hours of crossing the desert.

Above: the jetty; jellyfish; pelican; dolphins following the boat; humpback whale with its head out of the water; seal colony (all the dots are seals - they bleat constantly like a vast herd of sheep; the bigger colonies can't be approached because of the SMELL); jackal on the beach (the small doggy shape near the water - they prey on seal pups); dolphins in the bay. There are sharks too but we didn't see any.
