Namibia 2024: Above the clouds, the …

Freedom must be limitless...

Today we are fulfilling another wish.

We will fly over the coast of Namibia in a Cessna🤩🤩🤩

We are all a little excited and full of anticipation.

We planned this event about 6 months ago and today is the day.

After breakfast we will be picked up by Air Scenic at 10:10 am.

First we go to the office and we have to pay for the flights before departure!? 🤔🤔🫣

Are they afraid that we won't come down alive?😂😂

After the financial matters are settled, we are taken to the “bush airport”.

There we are warmly welcomed by the pilot Alec.

He explains to us how everything will work today and what we will see.

Alec's mother is German, so we can also speak German.

Alec is 22 and is collecting flying hours as a bush pilot so that he can later work for a German airline.

Maybe we'll meet him again someday on board a Boeing✈️👍

Then you have to crawl into the plane; a Cessna is pretty tight.

Then the engine starts and without headphones it is no longer possible to have a conversation.

We roll along a sandy track to the runway.

Alec floods the engine and we take off 🤩🤩

What a feeling…

“If something seems big and important to us…😉”

Swakopmund becomes smaller and smaller beneath us and we fly towards the desert.

“Someone is making coffee in the air traffic control barracks 😉”

We fly over Walvis Bay, over the Kuisep River (which currently only carries underground water) and Sandwich Harbour.

Seeing the border between the Atlantic and the desert from this perspective is simply fascinating.

The hour flies by and we land again on the dusty runway in Swakopmund.

That went by way too quickly!

When we got off the plane, we chatted like chickens because we were so excited.

We have just flown a once in a lifetime experience!🤩🤩😍🫣

We have had enough adventure for today and we take a stroll through Swakopmund and are surprised at what is sold to tourists without any fuss 😂

In the evening we booked a table at The Tug.

We enjoy the sundowner on the tug terrace before moving to our table in the shipwreck.

The selection of fish specialties

is indescribable.

Our dinner is the icing on the cake of the whole day and everything we have experienced.

Afterwards we stroll back to our accommodation and review the day over a beer.

With a lot of adrenaline we go to sleep and each of us will have our own version of the film

“My Namibia Adventure”

dream.

Good night Africa and see you tomorrow, we are excited to see what you have in store for us tomorrow 👍👍👍
