In this episode I am doing some local exploring around Uis in Namibia. First I visit the famous rock painting called 'White Lady', hidden under a rock in the Brandberg, the tallest mountain of Namibia. After that, I go for a ride with Basil, who owns the Brandberg Rest Camp. We swap bikes and I get to ride his Honda Africa Twin from 1988 with no less than 150.000 kilometers on the odometer!

🤣🤣🤣 until the day you arrive in a tiny village, in the middle of nowhere, where not a soul speaks English. You ask for directions to the next town. Everyone frowns. Chitter chatter erupts. Suddenly, half the village points in one direction, the other half point in the opposite direction. 🤔 More chatter chatter. More frowns. One bright spark on a bicycle starts riding, indicating enthusiastically to follow him. You do. And, so does all the villagers, laughing loudly running alongside the land rover. Oopsie, you end up ploughing through their freshly planted fields, bouncing over rocks and stones ... suddenly a road appears several meters away ... who was right, who was wrong? They were all right, some pointed to the road around the back of the village that lead to this road, while the others pointed directly to the road on the other side of the fields ... true story! Much laughter was had by all. Africa is full of "roads" leading nowhere, but somewhere in the back of beyond ... and, with the right attitude there's always great big smiles and much laughter to be had by all ... just keep driving, a colourful journey eventually leads to your destination 🌀🌈😎

They might as well put you in jail, right ? I watch your video's and in my mind I ride with you. Thanks for the adventure. You're living the life we dream of.

I don't know how they are elsewhere in the world but they're starting to get really expensive over here in the UK as the numbers dwindle and the retro lines age in nicely. Great guy you were riding with too, very knowledgeable about his local area. I bet he'd be good for some campfire storytelling.

Yup. I had to cross almost all of Bulgaria until I found a really good Transalp (tested 12) after watching Freddie's video on them. I did end up buying a 650 instead of a late 80s 600 though. I really love it. It's still a full-size bike that's also good for touring but not anywhere near as heavy or tall as the big boys.

I stumbled onto the Common sense show and listend to Hodges talking about ITCHIBOOTS. I fully agree, dear Noralie, you are indeed a WORLD AMBASSADOR. As a South African grandfather I love your escapades even though I am fearful for you at times, such as being totally alone in the vast expanse of the Namib. Be careful, my lady. God bless you.

The paintings are amazing. The thought that was put into finding materials to create the paints and colors long ago exemplifies human curiosity. I'll bet your ride on the Africa Twin was thought provoking. The bigger bikes do have more power and improved suspensions but they are also cumbersome and heavy in awkward situations. Sometimes less is more. A 250cc or 300cc machine will conquer many challenges.

I didn't know that Africa Twins arrived in 1988.. nor that Noraly arrived in 1987. Clearly, both are doing well given their respective ages. If Columbus and Magellan had had KZfaq in their time, they could never make a more interesting compilation of travel, exploration and adventure than Ms. Schoenmaker.

@@ItchyBoots You shouldn't wander on unpaved roads though, there are still landmines(UXO) mostly on former war zones(also true about most African countries). Don't take this lightly.
