Today we finally head for Namibia. The general consensus among us was that, although we all loved SA and our time there we really wanted to be settled and not living out of suitcases any more. The flight was easy except for Britta who lost her passport. It was found by the lady at the desk literally as the last bus was leaving for the plane. It could not have been cut any closer. We arrived safely and got through customs pretty easily. The drive from the airport to the house was beautiful: flat semi-desert in the foreground and beautiful mountains in the background. We saw baboons and 1 elk on the way there. We arrived in the house which I was totally impressed by. Its awesome, large and very comfortable. The power and internet have been cutting out but TIA. Once we arrived we had dinner which was fine although the food over the last couple days has been fantastic! We did laundry and had a very long intro discussion with the staff. We got a tour as well. Some of us headed up to the Carboard Box up the street which is the local bar. Its pretty cool there. Great environment, nice and open. As far as beer goes, Windhoek Lager = good, Tafel = Eh and Windhoek Draught = Ok. I was awful on there pool table. The balls were smaller.
