Getting around

This is more a travelling and planing blog so if you are looking for my daily life, you’ll have to look somewhere else :)

Dunes and Namibias own Crocodile Dundee

Sitting at the breakfast table and looking at pictures from yesterday. It was a day in the desert. First in the female one as our extra guide said, the dunes. We hires quad-bikes and went around the dunes, up and down, for an hour. It was fun and quite easy for all of us. We came across a very rear cameliont and stopped for a photo.


In the afternoon we went on a five hour desert drive with Namibia’s own Crocodile Dundee, Georg, as his real name is, was actually born in Frankfurt but moved here very young. His ancestors lived here before so it was more like coming home. He told us that when he was young and his friends went to play any sports he went to the desert. He likes to tell his story about  the surrounding and we enjoyed the ride in his blu Land Rover, the first car I have travelled with in Southern Africa, that was not white.

  

He told us about the geology in the region and the local wildlife. We saw some plants that are over 2 000 years old. At the end we stopped at his desert cafe. Under a rock his made us tee and coffee and we could rest for a while in the shade.

Going back, the landscape shifted once again with the sun setting and bringing the shadows to life. It was a magical scenic view.

If you come to Swakobmund I can recommend you to contact Georg Erb instead of taking a normal desert tour. He drives away from the other cards, we actually newer saw another person on our 5 hour trip.
