Cape Town to Vic Falls
From mid-november to mid-december 2006 I've been travelling through the southern Africa: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Sambia and a short trip to Simbabwe.
It was the most impressive of my journeys so far and a still feel a strong connection to this continent.
The text it taken from my journal at http://www.ballofdirt.com/members/90198.html, unfortunately only in German so far. You can find all items of this blog by searching for the tag CapeVic_flip !
The first thing you notice is the light.
Light everywhere.
Brightness everywhere.
Africa is not the Dark Continent as so often described by writers from the gloomy northern skies of Europe.
Not the Dark Continent at all.
It is the Luminous Continent!
Drenched in sun,
pounded by heat
and shimmering in its blinding glare!
Bob Geldof
