Opuwo
Our cycling target has been reached! We’re in Opuwo, finally a real African town. It’s great to see the Himba people looking at us looking at them, they’re impressive!
From here on we’re going even more on the tourist trail: visting Epupa falls and Etosha national park. This does not mean the cycling days are over though, and we’re still elegible for spotting elefants and lions in the wild. We’re sleeping with a gasoline burner at hand….when we’re not sleeping in a luxury resort with a pool.
Swakop
Just a few pictures from the initiation: Windhoek to Swakop.
As the weather is quite warm, we’ve shifted out schedule to riding in the early morning and in the evening time, which is very impressive under almost-full moon.
Swakopmund itself is a strange little town, like a desolate shopping mall surrounded by dunes. in the last 50 kilometers the temperature has dropped about 10-15 degrees, and it’s quite chilly here.
24uurs2011
Thanx to Breg ‘Attak’ Hanssens’ machine-like pedaling I finished the 24uurs2011 in a nice time (about 450km in 22 hours)
Somewhere my GPS logger started to fail otherwise the crossing of the railway bridge at Culemborg would have been nice to see, as well as the end sprint from Den Bosch to Eindhoven in under one hour.
20110717 24 uurs race (click to download)
There’s also a speed glitch somewhere in the middle….I didn’t actually ride almost 100km/h.
Rondje pannekoeken met Daan
Er is niet geflost met prikkeldraad deze keer.
K1100LT revival
After a harsh winter, the K1100LT repair manual (english) might come in handy.
Featured synth
Nou mijn 15 minutes of fame zijn er hoor, een van mijn photosynths van fietsen in Bolivia is featured op de homepage van photosynth.net.
Open dag Driehoek Katendrecht
Afgelopen zaterdag hebben we weer eens een kijkdag van ons project zonder einde, de Driehoek. Toch weer erg tof om al die nieuwe verschillende huizen en toffe buren te zien!
Snel even een synthje in elkaar geflanst:
Modderhuis geaccepteerd
Mijn Sketchup model van Ton van der Lee‘s traditioneel lemen huis in Djenné, Mali is geaccepteerd op het Google Earth 3D buildings layer.
Dit betekent dat toevallige bezoekers van de omgeving rond Djenné’s wereldberoemde lemen moskee dit model wellicht ook te zien krijgen.
