68 km/hour

Hi again! This is my second post today, so make sure you check out my earlier post (scroll down). We had a great morning in the desert today sand boarding! The only bad part was the trek back up the dune carrying the boards!

There were two activities, stand up sand boarding, which is basically just snowboarding on sand.

(Briana sand boarding down the dune)  

And lie-down sand boarding, basically like riding a sort of crazy carpet head first, down the dunes. They had a speed gun at the bottom, and I was reaching speeds of 68 km/hour! It was super fun!

That is me, heading down the dune! 

(Briana, lie down boarding. I will go all the way to where you can see two little black dots to the left of where I am in this photo, just by the start of a ridge to climb back up)  

(Cody sandboarding, he didn't hit the jump)

You may wonder why I am wearing long pants and a long shirt in the desert, unlike the other desert we were in a couple days ago where it was very hot, the area near Swakopmund can be very cold. It did warm up to be a nice day, and during the trek up the dune I was sweating, but at the top it was cold! 

Lots of fun! Cody is out now at his quading in the desert, so hopefully that is just as much fun (and it probably won't be as hard!).
