Walvis Bay, Namibia: Great time with the little cuties.

Walvis Bay is the second largest city in Namibia, a country in southern Africa, and the largest coastal city, with a built-up area of ​​approximately 29 square kilometers (11 square miles). Walvis Bay is the only natural deep-water haven on the 3,000-kilometer coastline of the South Atlantic coast from Lobito, Angola, to Cape Town, South Africa. The Pelican Point spit separates the bay from the South Atlantic on the west side of the bay. The gathering of organisms attracts many marine creatures, including a large number of southern right whales, hence the name Whale Bay. Walvis Bay was first discovered on December 8, 1487 by the Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias. In the early 20th century, the Republic of South Africa and Namibia were originally part of the same country. After Namibia became independent from South Africa in 1990, only Walvis Bay remained and was not included in the territory of Namibia. It became a foreign territory of South Africa until 1994. Official return to Namibia. In 1977, South Africa placed it under the Cape Province of South Africa. When you arrive at Walvis Bay, you must take a trip to the sea. Oversized pelicans are flying everywhere, and sea lions automatically boarding boats to beg for food can be seen everywhere...
