The comfort through me for a loop this morning, as I often wake up not knowing where the hell I am for a few seconds, it's weird. Being in a luxury tent is real weird for me as that is not my style, and that's not by choice. It was proably 5:30 am and I washed up and scurried up for breakfast with the rest of the German hunter's.
They buggered off hunting and I lazed around for awhile and then bid Gertrude farewell and left on my bike.
I nixed the asphalt road to Windhoek and took the lovely dirt road D1967 to Otjibingwe and then D1953 to C28.
Was a fabulous ride, bike road just beautifully, the road had pebbles and hadn't been graded for awhile and the bike kinda floated on the road. I encountered a Zebra, which decided to run on the road for about 2 km in front of me and then he met up with 2 of his mates and they then took off into the bush.
The dirt route was a 100km fit her than the tar but so well worth it and the C28 was an absolute blast and only passed about 4 vehicles on the whole route. Pulled in at the BMW dealer , cause am having my 20000km service done and they will look after the bike while I am gone in the 4x4 for 18 days.
Since leaving Cape Town I have done 4500km of which 4000 have been on dirt.
The sand is my worst enemy, can somewhat do the thin medium sand , but the thick shit is no fun cause I know I am gonna come second. Then picking up that beast fully loaded takes every ounce of muscle I don't have and in 36 deg C, it's a test everytime. Once you're up and off again ,it's just a memory.
So now I have to change blogs to royinnamibia.blogspot.com for my 4x4 trip.
