Name: Kalkrand

Kalkrand is situated between Rehoboth and Mariental on the B1 national road. In this town you will find a well equipped petrol station and mini supermarket.

It's the perfect place to spend some time meeting the local people and wandering around. A new craft centre will be functioning soon.

The next day, stopping for a coke at Kalkrand, I found my front engine mounting bar come loose and very nearly lost. A local lent his hydraulic lift and we eased the engine back into position and tapped the bar back. Wired up the thread where a nut had fallen off, and muttered about whoever had left the lock-washer off. Passing north of the Tropic of Capricorn the winter air is at least five degrees warmer than back in the Cape. I rendezvoused with Harvey and Rick at the due time in the light of a full moon beneath the gothic mass of the Kristus-Kirche in Windhoek, and next day found a BMW dealer and the needful special thread nuts and lock-washers.

TransNamib Transport Museum. The museum is situated in the Windhoek Railway Station and was built from 1912 to 1913. In front of the building is the narrow-gauge locomotive (vintage 1900), that used to operate between Swakopmund and Windhoek.
