After three days of lying down I was happy to be back on the bike for a short 3 hour ride over to Grootfontein. The back felt much better, but of course its always wise to start slow after a break…
The landscape continues to be lush and green in this part of Namibia. It felt good be to rolling again – especially thought a kind of landscape like this which I like a whole lot.
During my stay in Tsumeb I had managed to download a number of new podcast episodes, so the ride went by fast. Before I knew it I was on top of a 1500 m hill and was rolling down the other side towards Grootfontein.
I checked into a guesthouse around lunch time and went over to a supermarket to stock up on food. From here it is 250 km towards the next town Rundu, and on my map it doesn’t look like there is anything in between.
Good to see you rolling again!
