I do not have the vocabulary to describe the astonishing beauty of the landscape and scenery to its fullest, if only I had paid more attention in school maybe it would have helped. Especially this part of Namibia with its zebra striped mountains and red coloured sand flowing from broken mountain sides. It makes me more de-moer-in that we had to sit in school with rubbish subjects like ‘LiggaamsOefeninge&Jeugweerbaarheid’ rather than being taught photography or something worthwhile to enabled me to take some decent true to life pictures and to portray this incredible country.
It’s unthinkable how people can live in this arid place called Damaraland. God burned this place black and dark red in anger over Eve’s infidelity, maybe not, but I can’t think of any other reason riding through this beautiful land. If this place does not touch your soul you either do not have one or you are an alien.
The harshness of living in Damaraland is visible on people’s faces, but one thing that you do not expect is the friendliness and welcome smiles every single time you talk to one of the locals.
In the end we travelled Namibia from bottom to top on gravel and it is one of the most beautiful inviting countries and an absolute on the bucked list.
Angola will be a short visit and then back to Caprivi and onto Zambia.
Glad you managed to find Wurstbude!
Not sure how many pizza’s lie in you immediate future so hope you made the best of it.
All the best for the next section and thanks for taking the time to post updates.
I can feel the heat just looking at your great photo’s … You don’t need photography lessons when you are “In” the photo….. Take care and be safe!
Eish, I am longing to go to Namibia again!!!!!!! Was there during the war and again when I had an overland tour going in 1990. Eish.
