Today is my birthday and we are driving 350KM through the mountains from Twyfontein to Sesfontein. Shelly was so nice to reserve us a very nice room in this old German Fort. We checked in and drove to "town", where we found a nice guide for visiting the Himba people. Also we bought some presents for them, like corn flour, tea, cooking oil,and vaseline.
When we drove to their village, which consisted of some huts surrounding the goat corral in the middle. Several women and children were greeting us and Shelly started to talk to them (through our guide), while I was looking around their huts. Oh boy, do they living simple. We give you an update on them later.
In the evening we had a nice dinner with another German couple and we really enjoyed the mild weather! What a Birthday!
