For anyone who is interested in the tour, I can suggest Max, he is very friendly and originally is from Soweto. You have to know that you can book him through the backpackers / hostels but they keep too much for just making the phone call, therefore try to contact him directly:

Last complete day
Crazy how time flies by, it's already July 27th and tomorrow I am getting onto the plane towards Zuerich. 23 weeks I have been in Africa, what a wonderful time.
Once I am home I will update my blog with the adventures from South Africa. Please excuse but we have been on the road and very often I stayed in pretty rural places where I didn't want to spend my time on the internet, I hope you do understand.

South Africa!!!!
I made it!!!!
This is already my 4th day in Cape Town, I arrived on Monday at about 4pm with the Intercape (www.intercape.co.za) from Keetmanshoop. The trip was pretty ok, as we had booked the Sleepliner and therefor had a very comfortable seat.
Cape Town is amazing. This city has something special. I just came back from the Table Mountain. Actually I already wanted to go yesterday but then the "Cableway" wasn't running because it was to windy at the top. But today it was fine. The view from the top of the mountain is just wow!!!!
On Tuesday evening I have been on top of the "Lions Head". This is a mountain just next to the "Table Mountain". It actually is more a place for the locals but a guy from the "Longstreet Backpackers" went there and we could join him. It was full moon and therefore it was pretty busy. The sunset was amazing and it was a very nice moment.
I am so lucky to see all these great places around Africa and I am very grateful.
I will write a little more tomorrow as the weather forecast says that it will be raining.

Germany or Namibia?
Yesterday I arrived in Luederitz, which will be my last destination in Namibia, as I am going to South Africa tomorrow.
Namibia is a wonderful country and as I met some people and we rented a car together, we could see pretty much.
From Swakopmund we went to Solitaire, where we spent the night. I slept in the car which was warmer then the tent, but very uncomfortable. We then went to Sossusvlei and to see the "Dead Valley". I tried to walk up to Dune "Big Daddy" with the others but that was just not possible. It was around lunch time, too hot and I am probably not fit enough. But I still had a nice day.
After that we went to the Naukluft Area where we camped two night at the "Tsauchab Camp" which was really nice, but freezing cold. You have to know that it is winter in Namibia right now. But I survived and from now on I won't do any camping anymore.
From the Naukluft we went to Keetmanshoop from where we did a day trip to the "Fishriver Canyon", which was pretty impressive but........
I am doing really fine and I am soo looking forward to finally discover South Africa. Eventhough I am missing the kenyan and tansanian african flair. Here things are very German. People speak German, you can get German food, there are a lot of white people, the buildings are very German..... too much German for me ;-)
