Good morning all,
Randomly eating beautiful apple pie and drinking tea in some very small town somewhere in the middle of Namibia.Just realised it is only 10.20!oh the joy of 5.45am starts. However, i must admit it could be a good study plan to get up that early as the amount of things you get down before 10am in unreal.
So i have spent the last 2 days in the "bush". No shower,toilet etc. However, strangely, they have been my favourite two days. Beautiful scenery and amazing skies and stars. We sat drinking a bottle of wine on top of a mountain, watched the sun go down and then looked at the stars.
Watched the South African v Australia game in Namibia on saturday. Was jealous of the guys in cape town as I knew they had tickets. They had a ball!However, not jealous of the fact that they climbed Table Mountain hung over the following day!
Heading to Etosha National Park now for some wildelife spotting. However, amazingly as we were travelling along the wonderfully familar dirt track road we got stopped in our tracks by 5 giraffe. That was amazing!
So today I can finally shave my legs, clean myself and pee in a toilet!!Heaven!!
Oh and Val....i have a bottle of Rust en Vrede 2004 Shiraz sitting in my little chair on the bus. The boys bought it for me for my birthday, but i am going to bring it home. It is too good to drink from tin cups; i just cannot do it! It is the most beautiful night I have had i think and the memories of that restaurent with the chef cooking in front of us and the speech from the winemaker himself was just so amazing.Not even to mention the food or the wine!!Best food I have ever ever had.
So that is all for now but thank you all for telling me all about the hurling. Sad days for Waterford, but as we always say, "mabye next year eh!?"
Oh and Val,yes we are going to the Delta and we are flying in my 5 seater plane!Cannot wait!!Have my baby wipes ready again though as it is 3 days without any sort of water!!
Take care,
Talk to you all from Windhoek.
