Still we ended up with a loss of thousands of Rands. Stay away from any of the mentioned businesses and persons if you want to save your money and a lot of hassles.

Warum sonst wäre Swakop im Dezember/Januar so überfüllt, daß man keinen Platz mehr findet? Es ist die Sommerfrische Namibias, und nicht nur Namibier kommen hierher, auch Südafrikaner, obwohl man ja meinen sollte, daß die südafrikanische Küste lang genug ist. Also so schlecht kann Swakop nicht sein. Das können nur wieder so komische "Bundesdeutsche" behaupten. ;) Na, na, das ist aber nicht nett, unser schönes Swakop so schlecht zu machen. ;-) Ja, vormittags braucht es manchmal etwas länger, bis hier die Sonne herauskommt, aber die Stadt und die Lage am Meer ist herrlich, das Wetter auch.

We've been driving a Twende car for 3 months now and were due to return it yesterday. But when we got to their office, it was completely empty. Their neighbor told us that they have moved out. Neither Minette nor Cliff nor Claudia answer their phones, though we talked to Cliff on Thursday and he didn't mention anything about moving and said they will be waiting for us. I found many adds on internet with cliff's phone number selling cars for cash because he needs money urgently. We are talking to the police and will go to a lawyer on Monday. Have you heard from them recently? Please contact us so we can go after them together. Hi guys,

Your trip sounds very exciting and is much like ours. We are now in Livingstone and being a bit behind you on schedule we will look forward to read and be inspired by your blogs along the way. We are flying out of CT on Dec 14. So far we have experienced very similar problems as you coming up from CT. br, Christian We got your website from two South African motorcyclists that we assisted pulling on of their bikes in Spitzkoppe about a month ago.

I'm sure you've done heavy research but two quick RSA tips on the way home. Zululand is pretty rough but beautiful, especially kosi bay far north east on the coast. Here you can see green mambas and huge turtles. In the region Transkei, you can see how the apartheid regime fucked Mandelas Xhosa people. Tribal villages, rolling hills and no private ownership. In Coffe Bay there's a nice backpackers I visited 5 yrs back, with surfboards, fresh cheap lobsters, and cool sundowners. what can I say.. wanna join big time!
