Die Route ging vom Fish River Canyon
über die Grenze, dann nach Steenbok, Springbok, Clanwilliam,
Lutzville, Lambertsbay, Porteville, Cres und nun bin ich in
Worcester.
Von der Wüste Namibias ging es erst
einmal weiter in der Wüste Südafrikas. Den großen Unterschied aber
machten die vielen Blumen, die nach einem Regen anfingen überall zu
sprießen und die sonst sehr kargen Hügel in einen bunten
Blütenteppich verwandelten.
Die Städte des Nordcaps kamen mir eher
vor wie Ansammlungen von Häusern als wirkliche Städte. Doch
immerhin gab es alles mögliche zu essen und alles zu kaufen in den
Supermärkten. Viele Farmer luden mich oder vielmehr ich lud mich bei
ihren Farmen ein. So erfuhr ich viel über ihre Sorgen und Nöte und
bekam meist auch noch eine warme Dusche und ein weiches Bett.
Die Landschaft ähnelt ein wenig
Irland. Die Hügel sind grün und wollige Schafe weiden das Gras ab.
Doch die vielen Weinberge und Dattelpalmen berichtigen das Bild dann
schnell wieder. Der meiste Wein wird nach China exportiert.
Gegrillt wird hier bei jeder
Gelegenheit. Ein Tag ohne Fleisch ist ein harter Tag für einen
echten Südafrikaner. Gemüse wird nicht sehr geschätzt. Hühnchen
wird scherzhaft schon als Gemüse bezeichnet. Gegrillt wird genau wie
in Namibia am liebsten über dem offenen Feuer.
An der Küste wurde es genau wie in
Namibia neblig und kalt. Das Bad im Meer war dadurch sehr
erfrischend. Leider sah ich keinen der dort lebenden Pinguine. Doch
immerhin gab es einige Seelöwen zu sehen.
In den letzten Tagen nahm der Wind
beständig an Stärke zu und machte das Fahren immer mühsamer. Heute
kroch ich teilweise mit nur 6kmh die Straße entlang. Die Windböen
waren bis zu 100kmh schnell.
Jetzt geht es noch zu einem
Musikfestival und dann geht es bis ganz ans Kap.

The desert of Namibia went even further in South Africa. But there was the big difference that many flowers began after a rain to sprout everywhere and the otherwise barren hills transformed into a colorful carpet of flowers.
The cities of northern Caps came to me more like clusters of houses as real cities. But at least there was eerything to eat and the supermarcets were full. Many farmers invited me, or rather I invited me at their farms. So I learned a lot about their concerns and needs and mostly also got a warm shower and a soft bed.
The landscape is somewhat similar to Ireland. The hills are green and woolly sheep grazing on the grass. But many vineyards and date palms shifted the image quickly. Most wine is exported to China.
South Africans love to barbecue or brai like they do say. A day without meat is a tough day for a real South African. Vegetables is not appreciated. Chicken is jokingly referred as a vegetable. Hey barbecue just like in Namibia over an open fire.
On the coast it was just like in Namibia foggy and cold. The swim in the sea was thus very refreshing. Unfortunately, I did not see the penguins living there. But at least I spotted some sea lions.
In recent days, the wind increased constantly in strength and made driving more and more difficult. Today I crawled with only 6kmh along the street. The windspeed was up to 100kmh.
Now it goes to a music festival and then it goes all the way to the Cape.
