Thursday, December 18, 2008. Logbook: at 09:56 hours today, sailing on a sea of \u200b\u200bgreen pastures, crossed the parallel 23 degrees 27 minutes south latitude, Tropic of Capricorn, overcast, wind from the East, heading South.

typical German breakfast: eggs, bacon, cheese, toast, coffee. etc. The morning is luxurious, green field, 25 degrees and the bike like thunder. But quickly, in just 100 Kms, everything changes, the thermometer rises to 43 degrees and no longer low, the landscape becomes dry grass and the desert begins to show the breath of hell Kalahari. Barely touches the road and I'm baked, the air lifts the skin, the heat becomes unbearable in front, the bike boiling oil.
In the afternoon some clouds are formed, even rain! I had never rained more than 40 degrees!
stop in a village with camping, far away the storm is approaching.
"Es de noche en el desierto. Esta tarde ha llovido dejando un rastro de bondad. El cielo revienta de nubes negras, el viento trae perfumes desconocidos con la arena, tiembla la tierra, filo de relámpago, escalofrío de luz que se graba en la retina.
Me paso mucho tiempo mirando la tormenta, hipnotizado. Me siento como un homínido en la noche de los tiempos, cuando poníamos nombre a las cosas, cuando inventábamos seres fantásticos"

A los 140 Kms de salir llego a la frontera con Sudafrica, tardo cinco minutos en el puesto de Namibia y tres en el de Sudafrica (ultimo país del viaje) Todo funciona como un reloj, me encanta this country. We passed the German Africa to the Anglo-Dutch company just across the Orange River.
South Africa has many more resources than Namibia, which is almost all desert.
Saturday, December 20, 2008. Among
dairy farms, vineyards and fruit arrived in Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope. They could have been seven weeks, but wanted to be fifty days, so slow in coming to Africa, at the end of a dream, where they join the ocean and desires

In my beloved Cape Town (South Africa) to 15,556 Kms of my dear mother.
