03 Apr Victor’s South African Adventure
Hi All, Just to let you know Adam is slowly putting on our Southern African adventures plus photo’s and video clips.
We are both well and now on our way north up the west coast of Africa after being able to obtain our Angola, DRC and Congo visa’s.
Victor is doing well after having a all over service from a friend of Conrads and Schantell ( our Hosts here in Windhoek)
at Ultimate Performance they did a great job and supplied all the parts and labour free which was a great help.
So with all new filters, CV boots, diesel pump check new oil and grease Victor is up and ready to go once again……but not so fast Conrad and Schantell our hosts had another plan in store for us?
Conrad had endless contacts around Windhoek and was not going to let us go so easy arranging numerous appointments for Victor and Crew enjoying fabulous showbiz welcome to Windhoek ( Namibia ) our first appointment was with Jarrid and Christine at 96.7 Radiowave the top Radio station in Windhoek and ……a fun time was had by all although a little nervous but we had to blame Conrad for that surprise appointment …..but only to find out that he also arranged a 20min slot on Namibian TV NBC the following day, a morning show which also put our nerves to the test,but all went well as the show host Anna was very interested in Victors accomplishments and Elayne’s culinary skills on the road.
The final celebrity gig was at Ultimate Performance Frkkie Engels the owner had opened up his workshop for the entire day with several mechanics beavering away Victor enjoying a full make-over. Automania the Namibian version of TOP GEAR had also arranged to visit the Ultimate performance garage and once again we were on TV…..all puffed out Victor and crew now Windhoek celebrities finally appearing in the ”The Reublikein” an Afrikaans news paper so not sure what was said about us!!!!
So it will be sad to leave our wonderful hosts Conrad and Schantell in Windhoek who have looked after us so well a great young couple who we shall surly miss.
Angola is 900klms to the north so in the next week we should arrive at Ruacana just in time to enjoy Easter at the border????
Love to everybody stay in touch when you can …..we also like to know whats going on around the world.
Chris Elayne and Victor.
