From Ameib throuth Twyfelfontain to Etosha








Another stop on our journey was the Ameib Ranch with wonderfull mountains and rock formations called Bull's Party. Very impressive huge stone balls as they were made by an artist and just spead there. We enjoyed the sun down at this place. On the next day we departed for Twyfelfontain. A place where very old cave drawings were found. These belong to the UNESCO World Heritage. Anyway it was not really very exciting. Not so much as our journey on the gravel roads five hours a day - for those of you who know what Power Plate training means just immagine five hours Power Plate by 35 degrees!
So now I am writing to you from Rundu. This is a small city right on the Okavango river on the border to Angola. How I came here and why I am not writing to you every day. Even if Etosha is a realy famous it is stil a national park where not much civilization can be found. The lodges and camps are really perfect but internet is unknown for them. I must say Africa is completely different than Asia in respect to high tech - namely there is no! And this is true not only for Etosha but for the whole country. So I am now wondering how to explain my experience from Etosha without showing you pictures - I am sitting in an internet cafe without having the possibility to upload pictures.
Etosha is realy great. After entering the park a few kilometers away from the main road we met our first giraffe. On the watter hole in our first camp there were even more and also one rhino. But the show is even more exiciting if you interrupt watching the game and take a look at the audience - wearing very high tech equipment starting at one kg per object lens. But its worth to have it. You can even take pictures of the lions teeth :) We saw lions indeed on our second day and it was really amazing.
I hopw I can tell you more about this next time. Now I have to go - to Botswana.
