Back from the Desert!

After a week in the Namibian Desert at a Winery, I am totally exhausted. For the benefit of African Wild Dogs, I organized a mountain bike race at Neuras: Wine and Wildlife Estate, a partner of Naankuse. It turned out absolutely great, much to my relief. The racers had to do 36.5 km of terrain, and every 5ish km they had to do a group activity. One of them was to dance Gangnam style which then one of the researchers put together in one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. I will make sure to share it when it is available.

At Neuras they have a dog named Noodles, one of the cutest and funniest dogs I have met in Namibia. He is a stout Jack Russel with energy for days. When I was too scared to cycle on my own through Leopard territory, this little squirt came with me for 20km! What a rock star. I took a picture with him as he sat on my lap in the evening. Enjoy!
