In general , Namibia is a safe place. But
the electric fences and warning signs let
you know that this is a different kind of
place. Between this and the pizza menu,
you know you're not in Kansas any more !

A long road takes us to our Base Camp:
BRANDBERG REST CAMP in Uis, Namibia.
( This place recieves our highest
recomendation).

Basil Kalitz , Brandberg Rest Camp Owner , takes
us on a sundowner at the abandoned tin mine in Uis.
You'd think the sunset would be the highlight , but
no, the real climax is the 4wd drive trip after. I won't
spoil the surprise and say any more........

| We stayed in karibib at Albrechtshohe and looked at some tourmaline mines. |
While investigating the Erongo
aquamarine deposits we stayed at
the HOHENSTEIN LODGE. While
the accomodations were elegant,
when they shut the generators off
at night , the place was way too hot
not to have at least a fan. AVOID.

| I spotted a guy digging and hollered untill he came down to talk to us ! |
| No stop in Windhoek is complete without some paperwork at the ministry . And you must try the Zebra at Joe's Beerhouse ! |
