Safari Hotel Windhoek

... and hiking alone felt kinda boring without anyone. I decided to give it one day and see if anyone responded. That night went to a restaurant with two Spanish guys and had Zebra steak. Was thinking of having an ostrich, Springbok, crocodile, and zebra brochet but I had had all the other meats already and I heard the zebra was good. I was not dissapointed and it was probably the best meat so far. Anthony had his going away party and the Spanish guys and I invited a group of ...

... Great I thought. I did a quick internet search and the phone is locked so I can only use T-Mobile as my carrier. To unlock it, I need the subsidiary password. So I emailed Gena and asked if she could call T Mobile and ask them for the password. Of course they were quite unhelpful. Our T Mobile contract has expired and why should they be bothered to help.

DAY 2:
On Day 2, Charlotte and I embarked on the Katatura Quest. Katatura is the low-income area of Namibia. Our challenge was to go to Katatura State Hospital, meet a doctor and a social worker and ask them questions about Namibia's health care system. We failed to meet a doctor, but got all of the information we needed ...

... on pretty (and v. unsuitable) clothes and underwear. Set up camp where we based for the next few days whilst some of the group went into the delta (this turned out to be the better option following less than rave reviews). On Sunday we went exploring for a local church. Our first stop found us at a church which only meets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Second stop arrived at a chuch, excellent. Until we're told the meetings been moved to a nearby school "within easy walking ...

... with on the ship who are also adventurous. Part of our agreement with SAS is that we're not allowed to leave the country so I was hoping that these guys would be bold enough to bend that rule. Turns out they were. One of them had a prior commitment so he couldn't go, but the other three were sold immediately. So it was the four of us, James, Evan, Riley, and me. We spend two days trying to book flights from the capital city of Namibia, Windhoek to Vic Falls in Zambia. We ...

The souvenir shop provides you with selected Namibian arts and crafts as well as Eningu souvenirs with the ever present porcupine painted on them.

... seen as step up from the poverty they experienced in their village. My guide told m e that they don't see them selves as poor, but rather "in transition". The few children and adults I met seemed very happy and were quite welcoming towards me. And not once, did anyone ask for money. The final stop for us was the Penduka Project. This is a non profit venture that helps black women with disabilities get on their feet and become self ...

There is only a petrol station, small shop and the fort in this small 'town' * Gross Barman Resort & hot springs - on arrival we discovered the word resort used a lot of poetic licence. * Windhoek - we spent time in Windhoek both before and after our road trip Throughout this trip God really looked ...
