Omaruru Bike Rally 30.03.12

Every year, the Omaruru Rest Camp hold the famous bike rally. People from all over Namibia travel great distances to take part in the fun.
The weekend saw the whole of the Rest Camp transformed. A huge tent was erected to hold around 300 people. The bar was extended. Live music was constantly going and entertainment acts such as a fire-eater.
The majority of the people that turned up were white Afrikaaners in their leathers, with their Harley Davidson's etc. These people are ridiculously heavy drinkers and they know how to party hard. Something I witnessed over the whole weekend. The bar was open from 6 in the morning and I was surprised that it was not empty at that time. There were loads of burn outs; a display around town on the bikes and then some serious partying in the night, complete with copious amounts of fire-crackers.
It was nice to be there, even if it was a bit loud. The sounds of wheel spins constantly through the night.
