Driving to Windhoek

Today (11 July 2012) is a moving day. After we had breakfast and met up with some of dad's old school friends at the lodge, we had one final goodbye in Outjo: Oom Piet again. He went to Otjiwarongo in order to service their minibus, then we had coffee together at a small coffee shop in town. We also had something sweet, just for fun, and boy, wasn't it fun!

So, final goodbyes said, and off we went. Firstly to Otjiwarongo where we greeted Oom Piets sister at their woodworking business. Was also nice to see what the make it and how they make it. Afterwards I forced everyone to follow me to Mariana's (my boss) mothers home. She sent me the address. Unfortunately she was not at home, but I did send Mariana a photo of the house. Was a cool for me, but she never received it, so I only told her when I arrived back at work.

From their it was the long road back to Windhoek. Melindri felt sick, while dad had a problem with his driving permit. That caused a bit of stress as there are vehicle inspections before entering Windhoek. We got through them, but went straight in search of the offices of the roads authority. 

Now for accommodation. Dad arranged with Broer that we, the younger ones, are going to sleep at his mother-in-laws house. She was very funny. Originally from Germany, but shes been in Namibia from the age of 18. She could actually yodle, very cool! Then: Food!

That's one thing about our family: We love eating! After all, what is life without food? We went to a local ocean basket as we had so much red meat on the farm, we needed a change. 

Lastly, after this loooooooong day, we prayed for family that I have never heard of and then dropped everyone at their destinations. Grandpa at his, Dad at the reunion lodge and ourselves with Heidi. 

In all a good, exhausting, but fun day
