Finding gemstones in Namibia 💎[S5 - Eps. 51]

In this episode I am riding from Walvis Bay to Spitzkoppe. On the way, I ride through a town called Swakopmund, but the famous Namibian morning fog prevents me from seeing much! My goal was to see the Spitzkoppe mountains anyway, and admire the beautiful gemstones that are found in these rocks!

Shaking the car is a popular South African strategy to get more fuel in. Tanks have an air-lock to allow for expansion when fuel heats up. Not a good idea when you park it in the sun afterwards, but ideal when traveling in areas where fuel stops are far apart.

Of course, with an EV, all these issues disappear. Same with electric bikes. Noraly's driven a Zero. Find a place to stay, charge overnight while you sleep, and you don't even need to look for a petrol station. Of course, getting certain things fixed in the middle of a place like Namibia might present some issues.
