Day 5: Naukluft/Solitaire to Windhoek (+-280km)
Leaving nothing else but footprints in the park, we left for Solitaire and from there took the route over Spreetshoogte Pass. This was awesome. At (Preuts-)Spreetshoogte Pass willewil did leave behind some of his gear (fell out of his bag) and Saaakie's KLR did it's breed proud by rattling of its plastic radiator cover. (we did do the pre-departure locktite drill! but not on those 2 bolts...

) Both of them got it all back however with the cover coming off 2m before we stopped for the pic below and some friendly (as they all are!) Namibians in a LandCruiser picking up willewil's gear behind us and stopping us to give it back.
Once on top of the plateau the last 120km's to Windhoek would've become very monotonous was it not for the entertainment provided by Skillie and Likkie.(see below)
We rode into WinDhoek like those lone rangers from the wildwest, our donkeys had turned into noble steeds (hear the Eddy Murphy accent...), rearing (figuratively...), well- at least with a little noise..(the KLR tweetying and the Vstrom shwuching away)! Like always on this trip we felt good and a bit better than that.
So we stayed 3 nights in Windhoek attending a Leadership Training Time of our church. Needles to say- al three of us nearly felt that we were "called" to this country! But later realising that for now the motives would be pretty suspect... We had a thouroughly good time- if interested in knowing more please PM any one of us, we would be happy to share.
We still have 2 days return ride through Bots which I will post soon.
