Wunderful last Riding Day: Finally Mountain roads and curves!!
"Welfare-Briefing"
Day 14: Springbok to Citrusdal
Fotostop in front of the church in Kamieskroon - unfortunately the cafe was closed....
Day 13: Fish River Canyon to Springbok

Sepp in the Giant´s Playground
Day 10: Namib Naukluft to Mariental
beautiful wide landscape in Namibia!
Ignition problems in the middle of nowhere - and ther is no BMW Service-Center with a Diagnose-Computer around! So just the Tourguide´s brain combined with a screwdriver has to be sufficiant to solve the problem
Feedinf
Feeding of the hungry "Kittycats" in the Quivertree Forest Camp!
The famous Quivertrees in the sunset
Oh yes - The bikes (and the tourguides) have a hard life in Africa .....
Day 9: "Restday" Namib Naukluft Park
("Restday" is a bit misleading for today.... ):
wakeup-call 5:00 am!! for a desert safari to the Sossusvlei Sanddunes and the Sesriem Canyon - but it´s worth to get up so early!)
-
Rita climbing up "Dune 45"!
And Klaus on his way down
cute little vlsitor during our lunch-picnic: a Chakal!! Fearless or just very hungry? Beautiful surprise for us anyway!
famous Deadvlei - "Death Valley" - Denise hanging (very alive) on a tree that died ca 600 years ago - amazing!
Though not petrified, the wood does not decompose because the area is so dry!
is this a Talban disguised as a namibian bankrobber hiding in the Sesriem Canyon??
Day 8: Swakopmund - Namib Naukluft
Now the Asphalt stops and the "adventure" begins! (Sepp on the desert road)
No - that is not on the Mars!!
Vogelfeder- Berg - nice shape!

"someone" from besinde the gravel road looking at us as we leave the lodge!!
Herero-Women - nice colourful dresses and hats!
Day 5: Scenic Flight over the Okovango Delta
- there are all the Elefants hiding!! We can understand them - better take a dip in the River to escape the heat (37 degrees C) than being watched by the Safari Tourists in the dusty bushlands.....
.
beautiful!
While most of us enjoy the flight 4 people are "trying" to repair Urlich`s Flat.... Yes - this is Africa: efficiency can still be improved a lot all over!
Andres at the lake Ngami Picturestop
incredible - these guys know how to fish! Every 15 seconds anither one!!
Wedding pictures on the Edelweiss-Bike - all the relatives seem to be jealous

Ed probably happy to ba able to stretch his legs a bit after a long drive to the "Black Pool"
a A Giraffe acting as Tourguide for the Zebras (has a longer neck and so it can see deeper into distance!)
Rolf "Shooting" on Zebras
we woke up the Hippos - they did not look very excited about it....
Picnic Lunch - surprisingly the baboons did not come to steel it!
very rare: a leopard walking lazily around - not very impressed by us! (probably good so!)
