Our perfect campsite turned into a nightmare as the monkeys barely slept. It felt like the whole of Namibia’s wind blew right onto our roof top tent. The Brudis who slept on the ground behind a rock slept like babies. We got up quite tired, but managed to pack up and leave by 09:00. We [...]
The plan was to meet the Brudis before 09:00 and then take Mario to the travel clinic for a yellow fever vaccination and then shop while he is there. We woke at 06:30 and immediately started packing, but despite that we had to let the Brudis know that we are not going to make it before [...]
In Windhoek we basically ate, slept and worked a lot. We had dinner with Hugo’s grandmother for three nights and enjoyed tea with her in the mornings. On Friday evening Hugo’s aunt (Heloise) and cousins also joined us for dinner at his grandmother. Sunday afternoon we went to visit Hugo’s other cousin’s (Maretha) plot outside [...]
We accidentally told the Brudis that last night that we don’t have to rush this morning. The result: We only got away at 10:30. For breakfast Mario made the pancakes from yesterday’s mix. Our first stop was just outside the gate at Oasis where we had to inflate the tyres again and fill up the [...]
Our alarm went off at 07:00, but we snoozed for a while longer. For breakfast we had newly bought ProNutro. Sam softened the old bread by eating wet ProNutro on his bread with syrup. We packed up and left for Sesriem, where we arrived at 12:00. We bought lunch at the Oasis shop, before entering [...]
We packed up slowly and only left the backpackers at 10:00. We filled up in Lüderitz and then drove to Aus and stopped at the General Dealer again. We deflated the tyres, bought airtime and tried to draw cash, but the ATM didn’t work. The Church in Aus We took the C13 to [...]
We got up before 08:00 and ate Nutrific for breakfast. We got to Kolmanskop (R85 p.p) before 09:00, just in time for the first tour. We spent almost almost three hours there taking thousands of pictures. Afterwards we drove to Dias Point and Grossebucht, not much to see, but the landscape was interesting. We arrived [...]
For Breakfast we ate the lasts rusks and soft rolls with peanut butter and syrup. We drove past the Cañon Roadhouse again and then turned left towards Seeheim. We stopped about halfway at Mount Canyon, a new place that wasn’t there last time Hugo drove on this road. Mount Canyon (the name is apparently not [...]
Today we finally moved closer to the equator again, after being stuck at the same latitude for three nights. We basically just drove from Noordoewer to Hobas. We made a quick stop at Grünau and then had lunch at the Cañon Roadhouse. The Monkeys shared a Roadhouse Burger (R80) and their famous Amarula Cheesecake (R45). [...]
We got up early again as we wanted an early start. We packed up in good time, but just as we're all ready to get in and go we couldn't close the tailgate. After several attempts we realised the only option is to unload everything and take closer inspection. We couldn't really figure out how [...]
