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!

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 ;-) Sepp and Karl having fun with the kids along the road in Kuke :-) Day 4:   Landrover-Safari into the Moremi Game Reserve . 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!)
