Namibia day three

Today we spent around Walvis Bay and drove through the salt pans to Pelican Point HEREand then after lunch (and a visit to the shopping mall to replace my luggage which at least has been found in London now) we went to check Bird Island HERE. 

Three lifers today and the year list is now on 985. 

Tomorrow we leave the cool coastline into the blistering interior as we head north towards Etosha.
