Revenge of the Namibian desert poodle

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Well, back I am, sort of… amazing what some 2.5°C body temperature above average and some food out and no food in for two days can do with you: 24 hours to go from a healthy adult to a wreck.

But, lucky me, I am somewhat tough and like phoenix I resurrected and survived the revenge of the Namibian desert poodle  , or the revenge of the lesser or greater kudu (dried from: Biltong, yummie!!) or some breach in the cool chain of my flight food on Swiss.

Well be it: I am rising again and in all my agony yesterday, leaning over my coffin, I registered again for the gym after a 2 years break. Because I decided a few things while travelling 3500 km within Namibia, the gym is one of these issues, to get rid of a few extra pounds and do something for my back and have enough energy to pour all those bottles.

Which brings me to the end of this post, written with somewhat shaky fingertips, the next couple of days will see us bottling lots of rĂªverie samples and bottles….

I have prepared this post yesterday morning, right after my arrival. In the mean time things have changed. I have heavy fever and could not get up any more. Thus….please be patient for the next post.

And here my back from Namibia post…..
Back from a phantastic voyage, down in Africa.

Here are some impressions from a beautiful country,
