Now that the sun has risen over Namibia, Bitterwasser is also starting the day!

The flight office is already preparing at 7:30 am. And the restaurant is also in the starting blocks.
The breakfast buffet opens at 8:30 am. A large selection gives all visitors to Bitterwasser a good start to the day.

The morning briefing starts at 9 am. Updrafts, thermals and clouds are presented in various graphics.

Strengthened with food and knowledge, it's off to the gliders.
