Tsumeb (Namibia) : on holiday

S 19°14.816' E 017°43.060' (altitude: 1317 m)
There is not much happenening in Tsumeb, but it's a pleasant and quiet town to spend an overlander holiday. At the comfortable Mousebird backpacker we finally got face to face with Tom (and we had heard about) who has been cycling south from Europe for the past three years (with a few breaks). It felt good to have no agenda (besides servicing the bike and getting the website up to date) and to enjoy the sunny afternoons in the back garden. Of course in the evening there is the compulsory braai and a couple of Windhoek Lagers.
