the last 2 nights we camped in spitzkoppe. no electricity, no flushable toilets, no ablution blocks close by and oh so perfect. to shower you need to drive back to the main gate which is a distance away. in the mornings we took the drive back to the main gate to shower - open air showers, no doors, cold wind,
luckily warm water.
both nights we took a walk up the rocks to watch the sunset. later at night while the fire was going we pulled the mattress out and lay and watched the stars. the night sky was clear. i also learnt something new, i never knew that you could actually see the satellites move at night. spotted a few both nights!
otto put some muesli in his hand the saturday, the squirrels were close by and being inquisitive. one came and ate out of his hand. the squirrel then went to the water bottle which was closed, how clever, otto then opened up the tap and the squirrel had some water.
saturday afternoon we did some climbing, did 2 routes. did a 16 and a 18. wish i could have climbed more, but my damn calf muscles were burning like hell. i really enjoyed the climbing, otto makes it look so easy!
i really really really enjoyed the time in spitzkoppe, really beautiful place. being in the middle of no where, not many people around and the scenery is just WOW!
the last day!
waking up sunday morning it hit me, the last couple of hours of my holiday. sunday was a sad day, couldnt believe that the time went so quickly. wish i could have stayed a few more days.
below is the "independence museum" and "catholic cathedral" in windhoek.
a very BIG thank you to otto for spoiling me and letting me have such an awesome holiday!
