So it was SWAMBO's birthday yesterday and I thought a surprise lunch date today with some close friends will end her birthday weekend off in a fashionable way.
I made arrangements with her friend to reserve a table for us at Goanikontes Oasis, a little restaurant on the banks of the Swakop River near the Moon Landscapes.
Then I convinced SWAMBO that I need to get out and take a ride with the bike and that I need her to ride support vehicle and she agreed.
This morning early I took old faithful out from the garage, checked the oil, tyres and filled her up for the 80km ride to Goanikontes.
This is I on the road between Walvis Bay and the Dune 7 turn off to Swakopmund
….on the D1991 road towards the Moon Landscape turn off
….going down towards the Swakop River from Moon Landscape
Our friends and SWAMBO waiting for lunch
SWAMBO
SWAMBO and Bismarck
and the rest of the pack
Lots of space for kids to play while the grownups do their thing.....
The local village clown at.......
.......Moon Landscape Turn Off
.......Dune 7 Turn Off
.......Walvis Bay Turn Off
The Goanikontes Oasis is a nice little stopover on the banks of the Swakop River; they are open 7 days a week from 08:00 to 17:00. They serve light lunches, salads, homemade cake, and delicious set meals on Sundays. They also have camping facilities for those who wants to stay the night.
Please support them if you’re in the area. It is really an Oasis in this part of the country on a hot Namibian summer day.
