Countryside changing again, now getting more sandy as we approach the dune area of Sossusvlei.	Almost there.	Ostriches again.	The entry to Sesriem Camp and Sossusvlei dune area.
Looks like tourists live very healthy.	Now we are getting into the park area.	Into the dunes !!!	Still rocky on the other side of the road.
Sand dunes are.....	.....surrounding us now.	Famous Dune 45. This one has a distance of 45km from the Sesreim entrance and is the highest in its surroundings.	Getting into 4x4 country now !!!
With a normal car you would be stuck. You can walk or use shuttles from the parking otherwise.	Hiking into the dunes to Dead Vlei now. Take loads of water !!!	The Dead Vlei.	Into the Vlei.
This is really bizarre landcape.	However, there are still some.....	.....life-forms here.	Hiked back and drove on to Sossusvlei. Look, there are people on that dune !!!
That means.....	.....we have to go up as well.	Bloody windy up here.	The way back down looks easier.
From the top, you have a great sight.....	.....over the surrounding dune landscape.	This is Sossusvlei.	In the distance you can even spot Dead Vlei.
We also chose.....	.....the easy way.....	.....back down.	No comment.
Some more life-forms (springboks).	Sun is getting down now.....	.....putting the dunes into a different light.	To conclude the day.....
.....we decided to have a quick look.....	.....into Sesriem Canyon close to the camp.	This is the moon coming out.
