Another wonderful camp site. Our own ablution block complete with BBQ area….and a lush grassy pad to pitch the caranex on. At N$400(NZ$38) not cheap, but with it’s own security and excellent wifi, well worth the $. I had a brilliant sleep. You’ll need to know that..:) It was a…
Our night in the luxury B&B allowed us to update the blog also have a big bag of washing done and nicely folded. Getting in at around 3pm yesterday, and being a nice sunny day, I managed to do some work on Poki in the secure car park. Not long…
The cold windy front, expected at 4am, staggered in at 8am and from then, a beautiful fine, but cool day, out of the sun. Superlatives, overused, can be tedious, but you’ll just have to take our word for the scenery we are being treated to. The pastel colours of pinks,…
With Erica’s list of coffee and cake suggestions, Jen’s eye’s lit up and this morning we made our first stop at Helmeringhausen Hotel and Guest farm, where we put Erica’s recommendations to the test. The sign at the gate said ‘Best Apple Cake in the Namibia’. Well, I have to…

The plan this morning was to visit the Table Mountain First a trip a Dis-Chem store to replenish our my stock of medicinal nuts, that are, I believe, helping me stay healthy. Maybe that could be misinterpreted…:) By the time we arrived at the entrance to the Table Mountain gondola…
