Internet connection at last. At Sesriem we were told that there would be a get together or a Pilot Fly-in as they called it at the Libertas Game farm close to Outjo and decided that we would attempt to join them. We ended up staying there for a week whilst waiting for Paul's trike to be repaired. We met a pilot who flies a replica of a Chinese Yak who put up quite an aerobatic display. No red tape.

Jis Louis,
Mooi bymekaar gesit. Die gasvryheid wat ons daar geniet het, het jy alreeds elders genoem maar n ou kan nie anders as om weer dankie te se hiervoor nnie.
Ek het nie die ouens in Nam se mail adresse meer nie maar sal hulle graag wil vertel om na hierdie snit te kyk.
En hierdie was maar net een van baie soortgelykes.!
Verseker is trikes nie net gemaak om,om die artappel land te vlieg nie.!
Tx sien uit na die ander.

Toe ons by Libertas opstyg na 'n week , was dit soos 'n skoolperd wat omdraai en die huis ruik. Ons het op dag 43 of 44 amper 300 nm. in 5 en 'n half uur gevlieg en amper donker by Narubis geland nadat ons by Keetmanshoop uitgeklaar het. Op hierdie been het ons die ongelooflikste gasvryheid ervaar en goeie vriede gemaak. By Keetmans het iemand ons vertel dat daar 'n Travel Lodge en 'n aanloopbaan is wat ons toe later uitvind in die grensoorlog laas gebruik is en dat die dorp se hotel in die 1980's gesluit het. :shock: Toe niemand na 'n uur ons kom oplaai nie, het ons maar die sowat 3 km. te voet afgele en oorslaapplek en kos gekry by die enigste persoon op die "dorp" vhpy

As daar nog iemand is wat glo dat Namibie net uit woestyn sand bestaan, kyk hierna.

I've checked and it is set on "Public" but I don't think that I published it. Try again and see if you can access it now.

I was very careful to only upload from my (ZU)-CEX-files. Gave me so much gratification that I just could not keep it private. (-)

This is the final video of our trip that ticked all the boxes on our bucket list. Watching the visuals makes it feel almost like a sanitised version because it doesn't reflect the actual anxieties, frustrations, exhilaration etc. but what an experience. Would I do it again? Hell yes and next time it will be unsupported. Thanks for all the support and for following our journey.
