Day 54 to 56: The lion, the rhino and I
Friday and Saturday I was staying overnight at the Addo Elephant Park. And I had some problems with my internet connection, therefore I could only post these pictures today. — Von Freitag auf Samstag war ich dieses mal über Nacht im Addo Elephant Park.

In enforcing its segregation policy the Apartheid regime created so called self governed and officially independent homelands or Bantustans for the rural African population. Ruled by chiefs those “republics” were never internationally accepted and never completely seperated from the South AfricanContinue reading “Day 46: Through the former Ciskei”
Day 45: Sunrise over the Indian Ocean
This morning I woke up quite early to a stunning sunrise, the colors changing nearly every minute. So instead of dropping back to sleep I took out my camera. — Heute morgen bin ich ziemlich früh wach geworden zu einem unglaublich schönen Sonnenaufgang über dem Indischen Ozean. Und statt mich wieder schlafen zu legen, habeContinue reading “Day 45: Sunrise over the Indian Ocean”
