Do People Shower With Yarn Bracelets On?

3 Tage im Namib Naukluft Park

This weekend, the more tourist travel was announced. With a few people from the hostel we went Friday morning in southwest direction. The following 3 days we should be shaken well on gravel roads as far as that broke after 2 hours, the rear window in millions of parts. With a few cardboard boxes and duct tape was improvised. The first objective was the Spreetshoogte Pass, with spectacular views from nearly 2000m altitude.

Next we went to Solitaire. The local bakery is famous for her apple pie. Not bad, but good German apple pie is still better.

the early evening we arrived at our campsite in

Camp Agama, in the middle of nowhere between the Naukluft mountains and desert. A dip in the pool, a great sunset and a delicious Dinner followed, before sleep fairly early was announced.

4:30 the next morning the alarm clock rang. The goal was the sunrise in the desert to see. However, we went to the Toröffnungszeiten National Park a spanner in the works, the outer door opened 6:30, the inner 6.00 - African logic!. In the National Park you could then only with a 4x4 safari vehicles are on the road, including local driver. And the daily number of visitors is limited. First we climbed the dune, 45th two steps forward, one back.

Further increases to as Big Daddy dune followed. And walks to and Deadvlei Sosussvlei.

And something of the Namibian wildlife could spied be oryx and ostriches.

Finally, we still got down to the Sesriem Canyon, which is filled with water during the rainy season.

The evening we were at camp, relaxing with a glass of wine, get comfortable. On Sunday we went back to the Holperstraßen to Windhoek, this time without incident.

Currently I can not imagine in 3 weeks to be back in cold Germany. From work on I may occasionally with in meetings, sometimes as a scribe, sometimes because I'm German. I feel very Windhoek consists of NGO's with me is not always clear in some, what is their task.

And the hours of work are full and could not be more different. Thus for example, last Tuesday went to a few people from the DED in a bar in TownhsipKatatura including bodyguard escort. In the fast food restaurant next door was then once the culinary "delicacy" worm cost (Ugh!). On Wednesday I took my then boss at Rotary Club meeting in a super chic wine bar in the richer parts of the city of Windhoek. And more often than in the hostel I'm currently in the WG (including pool and terrace overlooking Windhoek) of 2 German friends. While residing in Katatura, but with round the clock security guard is not a problem. Since I have to laugh sometimes at myself, if I so shaky visit with plastic bag in his hand and just taxi money in your pocket through the township around the two.
