When I picked up Jenny from Johannesburg last Sunday she
had a dry hacking cough which has steadily got worse and now I have it
too. We are both fighting a chest infection and feeling a complete lack of
energy, so it was good to have another day doing nothing and sleeping in
the shade around the pool.
We had an SMS today from friends Andrew and Claudia who
had come into Namibia from Angola about a week after us. They
commented that they felt their trip was over as all the excitement had gone and
it was "too civilised" in Namibia. In a sense they are right but
if clean, well appointed campsites with clean toilets, hot showers and plumbing
that always works and isn't broken is "civilised" then I am ready for it!
These Namibian camp sites are a delight after all the filthy, stinking, broken
toilets we have encountered across Africa.
It was a very hot day so we waited until late afternoon
and went out in Garth's car to see if we could see some game. We saw a few
gemsbok, springbok, Hartmann's zebra, ostrich and a greater kestrel.
