Art, Art, Art.... Only for those who care!

So I went a bit snap-happy at the Museum of Fine Art. Saw so many of the pictures I love. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know. But it is my cup of tea.

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 exactly the same...

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 175: Frankfurt

It really is time I move south, way south, all the way south to Namibia. The temperature here in Germany dropped very suddenly. Yesterday the sun was still shining and I was walking with short sleeves. Today it rained all day, and as the dude on TV just now said, in Muenchen they are back to wearing thermal socks with their sandals! Did not see much of Frankfurt but that is no big deal, have been here before, don't think it has changed much. I was originally hoping to catch up with my cousin Brigitte but alas, she is not home. I cannot believe it is nearly over... 3 months North America = done, 3 months Europe = done. Only 1 month in Namibia left. I hope I am not going to be on the wing!!! On my way to Frankfurt by train. My last dinner in Germany.... Schnitzel. Weird... the place I am staying, is decorated like it is American/Hollywood-ish. I am a grown-up, I can have cake for breakfast! Winging my way from Frankfurt to Windhoek.
