They are just friends who've taken about 10 trips together over the years.<br><br>Well, that's about it. We leave Swakopmund in the morning and I don't know when I'll next have internet access.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <br><br>

... north ..(on the straightest longest road i have ever seen - cutting right through the desert .....the same hypnotic landscape hour after hour).. to the Capital Windhoek .....<br>another "Backpacker" Hostel with loads of young folk getting drunk .......drunk and excited that they are in Namibia ........I needed to get away from all this sociable young enthusiasm .....im not used to seeing travellers so often ....i only like to see them maybe every 3 weeks ...

... price...I can't imagine anyone paying this." I ended up having a chill night after that but was looking forward to visiting Stellenbosch tomorrow to see how it was different. September 17th For breakfast had an Ostriche steak and some Ostriche egg. A little different and it was pretty damn good. Went on my own this time to Stellenbosch wine region which is the capital and my little story again worked better than I expected. Some of these estates had mansions dating ...

... and jump it ended. Then they backed up and it began again, the same song repeated and two slightly bigger girls stepping forward doing similar moves to the first but each with her own style. Again the music stopped suddenly and again the dancers with it. A second or two went by and they began again and then big kicks and they were done. This was repeated over and over with the girls coming out in groups of two, each time they were older until finally the ...

... the side with our guide, 'V', who won (surprise surprise) and it would have made for the most spectacular photo had I have not been emptying my shoes of their own little desert at the time. We had breakfat overlooking the dues then moved on to Soussvlei. We changed over to a bakkie (ute) and clambered into the back and when off the the last spot that the river reaches when it runs before "Dead Vlei" (where the dunes have cut off and everything is dying ...

I can NOT believe that my time here is half-way over. I haven't blogged in a while for valid reasons this time. I have been so busy! I have had a lot of work to do at the rainbow project (hereafter referred to as 'trp'.) I haven't typed about trp at all. Perhaps I should!<br> On Day 1 at trp my supervisor asked me what I wanted to do for my project. I told her I was up for anything. I would organize a march or just do busy work around ...

... a multi piece bucket of chicken planted firmly in the middle of the room for easy reach from any bed. Hahahahaaa another reason we chose to upgrade. God I sound old!! <br><br>Oliver and I got merry but were in bed just after midnight after walking to the Engin with Suze... who was thoroughly disappointed when we rocked up at a petrol station as she thought we were talking about Indian? No love, just meat pies I'm afraid. <br><br>Didn't feel too bad the next day especially compared ...

... as much extreme adventures as I could in 2 days! We arrived in Swakopmund in the early afternoon. We are actually staying at a hostel for 2 nights so I get a bed. The place is really nice complete with pool table, tv lounge, bar, and only 2 blocks from the beach. We didn't have much time to get settled in and eat some lunch before the first adventure started. Eight people from my group decided to go skydiving and our guide booked it for this afternoon. First we drove to ...

... of trouble" He did explain that it doesn't matter too much with the lions as the light doesn't effect them, however it blinds antelope and other animals upto 45 minutes which makes them a good target for prey. He shone the light on two black Rhino's and they started fighting with their shadows thinking it was some other Rhino - it was pretty funny. Our next main stop was a Cheetah Park. In Namibia the cheetah is not protected, and so the farmers shoot them if they come ...
