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...

 I have Atlantic water in my veins, the Southwest Wind in my hair and Namib Sand between my teeth. This is where I can breath! I don't expect non-Buchters to understand... Lüderitz harbour with a cruise ship View from my favourite restaurant. Love their pork chops. My brother's accommodation. He did a great job renovating the old Russo-house.

Bushmanskerze - a desert plant My little Bro The Namib dunes are visible on the other side of the bay Now this is nice braai The visitor's book at Eberlanz Hoehle was full and the person who decided to replace it with a new book, cheekily dropped it of at Heinz' place of business..... just in case he went past there. Thing is no-one just "goes past there".... it is quite a climb over the rocks, first down to the water and then back up over the rocks to get to the cave. You h...

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...
