Solitaire in Namib Desert

A little spot, just south of the Tropic Of Capricorn sign, on the vast Namib desert marked as fuel station on the maps, but it’s far more than that. Not only fuel, snacks, cool beverages and cold beers are served here. It’s also the place for the most famous apple tart in Namibia. The German baker, who introduced that delicious dessert midst in the desert, passed away a few years ago. His apple tart stays for many more generations, hopefully.

The big eye-catcher are the old-timers and trucks standing around the fuel station. In colorful rusty conditions they attract people for a stroll between them and take a few shots for remembering.

Not much to tell about the magnificent landscape around Sossusvlei area.  It’s a Must for every Namibia newbie, so certainly i brought my parents here too. Take a bit time to feel sun, wind and sand on your skin.

fullmoon over kalahari desert

After a long drive cutting into the Kalahari Desert i stopped in the bush and listen to the wind. Silence grown when the sun disappeared, clouds hurried over the sky and the full moon brought its silver light over the night landscape of the desert. Es war ein langer Fahrtag bis ich im Busch der Kalahari ein Platz zum Übernachten fand. Nur der Wind rauschte durch die Dornbüsche. Die Ruhe nahm schon fast bedrohlich zu als die Sonne verschwand und der Vollmond sein fahles, silberne Licht über die Wüstenlandschaft verteilte.
