... mit Grosseltern die dort gewohnt haben. Wir konnten uns richtig vorstellen, wie es hier vor hundert Jahren ausgesehen hat. Nachdem keine Diamanten mehr zu finden waren, zogen alle weg und überliessen die Häuser den Sanddünen.<br> Zum Abschluss unseres Afrika Teils besuchten wir die berühmten Dünen von Sossusvlei. Um fünf Uhr ging der Wecker, um den Sonnenaufgang in den Dünen zu erleben. Es war es mehr als Wert in der Dunkelheit mit der Stirnlampe das Müesli zu futtern ...

... a political party to seperate themselves from South Africa and start a Liberation Movement. Thus, SWAPO (South West Africa People's Party) was born. From 1966 - 1988, SWAPO founders endured some of the most amazing challenges to eventually claim independence for Namibia. Apartheid continued in Namibia until the 1980's (1994 for South Africans!). After several years of ...

... done... SKYDIVING! <br><br>It was the highlight of my trip in Swakopmund! I loved it so much! I am so glad that I have done it without telling my parents otherwise they would have flown over to stop me!!! I am going to do it again, for sure! By the way, I recommend you should do it! <br><br>The trip was over and we had to go back to N/aankusee which I was really excited to see all the animals and tell them that I have done skydiving! <br><br>Enough of this rubbish talk! Bye for now! x

... large jets, so the airport has to be this far away) but we have a driver from the hotel for the hour long trip. We pass a police rescue of an upside-down car down a ditch on the way into town. "TIA" says the driver. I didn't get the reference until I remembered Blood Diamond. The Kalahari Sands Hotel is in downtown Windhoek, above a shopping mall. The mall is closed by the time we get there, along with all the banks ...

... can see, at close quatewrs, all the major game of Africa - elephant, lion, giraffe, zebra, warthog, etc .. But what really sets Etosha apart from other Parks in Africa is the stunning landscape as it consists of a vast salt pan. The rippling heat haze rising off the pan during an afternoon drive is mesmerizing - although this is the worse time to spot animals and the best to relax around the beautiful lodge a ????. Early morning or evening is the best time for game viewing ...

... building. It's called the Ink Palace, or Tintenpalast...guess why? We meandered through the grounds for some minutes; they probably have the best view in town. A group of children was playing an incomprehensible game that involved walking in a line chanting in...a language...and then the one at the front would scream and everyone would run about four feet in some direction. I really couldn't figure out the logic of it, but they were all delighted ...

Tanaan lahtee lento 15:15 Windhoek Internationalilta.... Paska reissu eessa, parempi takana. En oikeastaan tehnyt mitaan maailmaa mullistavaa, siis chillasin, grillasin ja dokasin.

... to their own and grow the community, instead of giving the money to international chain stores. The highlight was seeing the cattle butchering area where each day cattle is brought in and then caved up and sold on the spot. The sanitary conditions are not exactly high. There were so many flies covering the meat, it was hard at times to actually see the meat. From there we set off to the squatters camps. This is where tribes people who ...

... the areas lodges were the only other type of accommodation, and very expensive. The only backpackers were in the major towns. Most campsites had decent showers and each pitch had a braai (BBQ) pit, so we had a lot of braais! The distances between towns is vast and you have to remember to fill up with fuel and food whenever you reach somewhere with such supplies. We'd drive for literally hundreds of kilometres and not see another vehicle. We visited ...
