HIDDEN GEMS & the Ghost Town in Luderitz [ & fixing the leaking FORK!] S2EP16

We are visiting the AMAZING ghost town KOLMANSKOP in Namibia after we need to wait for the new fork seals to arrive for our motorbike. And locals show us some true HIDDEN GEMS around Luderitz. So much history! Old whaling station, gem stones, hidden 200 year old horse Paddocks and so much more! Of course Werner also tries to fix his leaking forks of the KTM 890 Adventure himself after watching some KZbin videos ... what can go wrong right?

This is probably one of my favorite episodes. So we'll narrated.. Thanks for taking us on this journey in & around Luderitz

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Thank you! Narrating was new for us and definitely not easy😅 glad you enjoyed it

[@AdventureGrampa]

Werner, your cinematographic skills, script and narration are improving every episode. This has been the most professional so far. You have set a new standard for editing.

[@vancemarin8022]

Great tour of the area !!! Thanks for sharing it with those of us that will never be able to go there !!!

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Thank you! It’s all thanks to the locals here 😊 we wouldn’t have found it all by ourselves

[@BLvEeden]

Your best video so far. Loved it. Communication with the locals and educational information is what attracted us.

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Thank you so much! It seems that a lot of people agree with you, so we might add some more of this type of content if the opportunity is there

[@brucekendall52]

Wonderful history.Nicely narrated as well.Thank you.

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Thank you! We weren’t sure how the narration was going to be received, first time for us and your own voice always sounds strange!

[@jude.v25]

Thanks for taking us along on the tour of the ghost town and Luderitz. And good job, Werner! I personally have several degrees from KZbin University.

My Dad grew up in Kolmanskop. He used to take that train to Luderits to go to school weekly think he was around 11. Not sure but my gran could have been one of the nurses.

[@thetravelingtortoises]

That’s amazing! You know around what year(s) that was? And has he ever been back there afterwards? He must have had interesting stories 😊

[@TheSilmarallion]

@@thetravelingtortoises Unfortunately he never had opportunity to go back, I used to fly to Luderits from time to time and he would talk about it a bit. He was born in 1939 and was about 11 so was just after the war. Think he said my grandfather had a petrol station of some sorts. I must actually ask him some more about his time there.

[@Thebabsdt]

Luderitz certainly is a very special place. We spent a good few days there. However, it's really in the back end of nowhere 😂

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Luckily it’s a tar road to the backend of nowhere, makes it a bit faster to get to somewhere! But definitely a special place

[@paulbester9516]
