Wildly impressed by J-mo and his daughters ride report, I also decided to take my little girl for a ride.........
We left home around 10:00 and headed straight for Swakopmund for breakfast at Cafe Treff. On the way there we stopped at the Swakop River bridge to see the river run into the sea.
This is me....
and this is my daughter Juné....
Juné my little DS rider apprentice....
Some quad rider from Desert Explorers....
Swakop River in flood....
BMW rider coming over the bridge, typically no wave...!
....more flooding river....
....and more....
....and more....
....and more....
....and more....
....and even more....
Time for breakfast....
Some local african art....
Juné posing....
Stopping at Wlotzkasbaken, a small coastal community on the way to Henties .
Wlotzkasbaken in the background .
....now the old man's turn to pose....
Stopped at the temporary jetty structure for the desalination plant intake....
The structure up close....
Who says an AT can't ride on the sand....
The black stallion on the beach....
....some more jetty structure....
People fishing on the shore....
The four things that I like, bikes, ships, structural steel and the sea....
and a few kilometers further towards Henties, you will see this fishing vessel laying on it's side....
Juné always keen on posing for a picture....
or two.....
Finally we arrived at this pub and grub store in Henties....
The catches looked good....
....more....
....more....
Here you can get your fish cleaned, your vehicle washed, your tummy filled and your throat wet....
We opt only for the tummy filled option....
Dad, what's for lunch....
We thought we will do the welcome thing, on our way out....
Juné ready to go....
Me ready to go....
Our last stop before we finally head for home....
The building behind is the place where the actual desalination must happen....
The design criteria was that the building blend in with the environment...., you be the judge....
That's all folks....!
I hope you all enjoyed looking at the pictures, just as much as we did taking them....! :thumleft:
