Skeleton Coast: Uninhabited and uninhabitable
Posted by daveb on September 24th, 2008
Namibia is the size of France, yet has a population of only two million. That’s two people to every square kilometre and most cluster in the capital, Windhoek. Which means there are going to be large areas of the country that is uninhabited and in fact uninhabitable. Meet the Skeleton Coast region, where for hours we would drive and see nothing. Literally nothing. Which explains why we were so excited to find a shipwreck to photograph!
Along the way we stopped to see the “smelly seals” (about 250,000 of them) and happened upon a former–now collapsed–oil rig, complete with vultures scouring the baron wasteland.
Just outside the park we had our first puncture in our now suitably dirty and thus rugged-looking 4×4 car, which unfortunately happened after dark and so made for quite a “he’s behind you” scary moment whilst changing the tyre. Eventually, we found a campsite in the wilderness to which elephants visited the next morning.

You can now use your body to play games rather than just a controller.
You have 30 seconds to assess the enemy base if it is worth
attacking. Most gaming consoles can be set up to prevent
young kids from playing inappropriate content.
