Again breaking up our next sector trip to Walvis Bay we stayed over at the Rostock Ritz Desert Lodge with its quirky stone cottages. The main characteristic of the lodge is the beautiful views over the desert.

We had a swim in the lodge pool but didn't stay in for very long (somewhat chilly - nights are cold in the desert), and later enjoyed a G&T sitting on the balcony. The rooms were very comfortable despite no aircon as the big ceiling fan worked well.

In the morning I clambered up the rocky hill behind the lodge to be greeted by more scenes of desert interspersed with rocky mountains - very beautiful.
