Due to the unusual amount of rain Windhoek is having, the water is draining down towards the coast and filling up the usually dry river beds. The Swakop River (just south of Swakopmund) has emerged into the ocean. Above is the Kuiseb, which has entered the lagoon just south of Walvis Bay for the 3rd time in nearly 100 years (1934, 2000, 2011). The pink is salt pans! Vera, who was visiting us last week, got to see both rivers.
David and she went on what part of the Welwitschia drive was not under water. Wiki this amazing, endemic plant if you do not know about it.
