Diaz Point is a great drive out from Luderitz. Stark & beautiful. Make sure when you're here to stop in at Skip Skop for a coffee and a slice of fresh cake. Such friendly staff - really hope they make a go of this!

Excellent, for what these horses have managed; to adapt and survive in the harsh conditions of a desert!! On the 27th km between Aus and Luderitz there is a stone sign saying GARUB WILD HORSES. If one turns right - coming from Aus - one comes to a hide with a waterhole infront. On our 1st stop we saw 3 adult horses and a foal coming for a drink. I was happily surprised to see that they all looked quite healthy. Without the help of the Foundation that takes care of them and gives them extra food, I don't think they would be able to survive the harsh conditions, the heat and the droughts. The 2nd time we stopped, on the way back to Aus, we only saw an ostrich family at the waterhole. Nobody knows for sure how these feral horses got to be living in the desert but there are 2 predominant theories; one that they belonged to the Schutztruppe during the first World War; two that they belonged to Baron von Wolf who owned Duwisib Castle. When he went to fight in Europe during World War 1, nobody cared for his horses so they eventually ran wild. Wherever they came from, it is amazing that they have survived! And, it is breathtakingly beautiful to see them running free in the vastness of the Namib Desert.

Found some photos of my mother from 1955 - oh wow! None of us expected that! We were aiming at a trip down memory lane where my mother was confirmed but did not expect photos in the relic collection. The stain glass windows were beautiful; the colors clear and bright esp in the late afternoon sunlight. The pews are well kept and I pray that they will be used more often. When in Lüderitz; the Felsenkirche is worth a visit.
