Biscuits and Gravy

-
My first encounter with Biscuits and Gravy was not very positive. The "gravy" was literally just a bland white sauce and I ended up shmearing butter on the biscuit and eating it like that. This morning my darling cousin came home from her job as deputy sheriff at the local jail and made me what she calls "proper biscuits and gravy". Yum! She used a spicy sausage meat to make the gravy. And the biscuits came out of a cylindrical tube.... See photos. The one the left had the biscuit mix in it. The one on the right is an example of how pizza dough comes out of a similar tube! Real easy, just place on a baking tray and bake for a bit and you have fresh biscuits. I am so stuffed right now! :)

DAY176 - 178 Arriving in Namibia - Windhoek

-
Image
On Monday I left Fuessen by train, to Frankfurt (2 degrees C). Tuesday I was going to leave my luggage at the Pension and go shopping. Ghmf… no, I had to be out by 10am, no luggage storage facility. So I very quickly went to the closest supermarket at 8am (dressed in coat and scarf and still freezing) and bought a piece of baked cheesecake for breakfast and a "leeeettle" chocolate to take with me.  By 11:30am I was at the airport.... my flight was only at 7:40pm. What a lo ng day that was. The flight was good though, had a window seat and an empty seat next to me.  Landed on time in Windhoek and then the surprises started (which they should not have been!!!)  1. Getting out of the plane and it being super hot and the air super dry.  2. How long it took to process the travellers from 1 plane only through immigration! 1.5 hours I stood in line!  3. How much Windhoek had changed since 1996. Very little looks like I remember it. But some things are exact...

DAY 179 - 209: Luderitz PART 1: Fish River Canyon trip

-

Being back home is very special! I arrived in Lüderitz Friday 2 November 2018 on Air Namibia via Oranjemund. My first time EVER flying in. I was planning to just lay around, relax after all my adventures and help my brother out with his tourists, if the opportunity comes up. Well, there does not seem to be a lot of rest for the wicked... What I was not expecting was that my lovely family would take me on a 4-day birthday trip through Southern Namibia, via Keetmanshoop (so I can collect my new ID document) to the Kokerboomwoud area and then on to the Fishriver Canyon.  We spent the actual day at the Western Rim of the Fish River Canyon at "On the Edge of Eternity" and went on a sunset - sundowner drive along the rim. It was very special indeed.  For those who are interested in these things: "The Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world and the largest in Africa, as well as the second most visited tourist attraction in Namibia. It features a...

DAY 56 - 57: Knoxville, Tennessee - Asheville, North Carolina

I did not really expect much from Knoxville. I was expecting a small town. Turns out it is not that small and is actually quite pretty. And they have these free trolley busses that cover most of the city in 3 different loops. So that's what I did, hopped on and off and got to see quite a bit. The Sunsphere. It served as the symbol for the 1982 World's Fair The Holston Peace Treaty monument An arch made out of bi- and tricycles This is how they catch the pollution coming down a side stream into the Tennessee river. I had left Chattanooga very early and did not have breakfast, so when I got to the hotel in Knoxville, I had a few Pringles and made myself a cup of coffee in the coffee machine in my room... Not long after I was not well at all... I managed to do all the sightseeing I wanted  but slept only 2 hours last night... and was so afraid things would go wrong this morning on the bus to Asheville.  Anyway, I safely got to Ashvi...
