We did got a second hand tyre in Keetmanshoop, gut it was narrower than what is required, we still did try though but in the end to no avail and it was tar to Windhoek. Oh well with a back-up vehicle we stopped for ample liquid breaks

Leaving Keemans Corndog and Cobber were on the bikes and I chased them down to be stopped about 30kms outside Keetmans for speeding 135km/h I pleaded guilty but said I was chasing the bikers to let them know to drive slow because of the tyre,,, it worked and I was let go.

We stopped near Gibeon at this cemetry and I think it is from WW1

Then in Mariental I took the opportunity to go say a last farewell to my dad and and stepdad, both of which are buried in Mariental, my birthplace.

Then it was tar till Windhoek where we stayed in the Safari Lodge.

When there was an opportunity for dirt the lads took it even next to the road....

The obligatory stop at the Tropic of Capricorn
