Christmas in Bitterwasser – at 33°C and glorious sunshine

This year, as so often, we had temperatures above 30°C and lots of sunshine. Due to heavy rainfall in recent days, for which the locals pray, we were even able to marvel at a lake in the pan.
The gliding weather was also at its best, even if there was still room for improvement. Despite a rather low base, flights of over 800 km were still possible over Christmas.
Around 7 p.m., the highlight of the day began: dinner together at a long table. We started with a get-together with a choice of refreshing sparkling wine or orange juice.

Before sitting down to dinner, guests were treated to this impressive sunset.

A wonderful menu awaited the guests at the table. It began with an amuse-bouche.

A green salad with biltong, orange, and avocado. This was followed by a buffet of various appetizers, including freshly caught cod. Johannes Kammerer, Jan Knischewski, and Guy Bechtold caught this for us on a trip to Swakopmund. For the intermediate course, Chef Mario and his team served a fresh lemon sorbet.
The main course consisted of turkey and mini beef fillet, as well as the long-awaited springbok. The wonderful meal was rounded off with various desserts, including macarons, crème brûlée, and a light chocolate mousse.

Christmas in Bitterwasser – always a unique experience!
