DAY176 - 178 Arriving in Namibia - Windhoek

-

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.

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. ...

Lüderitz has a population of approximately 24,000 of whom only around 40 are direct descendants of the Germans. And some 25% of those 40 people are directly related to me! Gotta love 'em. My absolute favourite people: Heinz and Ute Manns Jochen and Bernice Manns Heinz and his grandson, Lucai Hertha (nee Manns) and Helmuth Syvertsen    Cousins clouning around - we found a way to hide our double chins! Friends Luffie and Iris Jahnke Heinz at his BBQ
