When we got there we met Oom Japie. He is Dads best friend from school. Also, he scored the higest marks and now lives in the USA. He works for NASA and is n lecturer at a university there as well. A true ledgend!
We also met Charne, a nice girl that you'll hear about later. Before that, though, we are off to town with dad. He is showing us around town to some ofmthe historical sights. We saw their parliament, an old church which the Germans used during the war, and I got to take a photo with some of the famous traditional ladies. They cover themselves with mud and animal fat, and thats about all. No clothes... Weird (to me, at least)
I had an orange juice with Ruan (from day 2) close to his work, then we all went to eat at (wait for it) WIMPY! Its moms favourite and we know it. After to much town for my liking it was back to the lodge for the reunion. Fun and games to start...
That evening was a soup evening with a very chill meet and greet. Everyone had to introduce himself and tell his old classmates what happened since they finished school 38 years ago. Dad made us stand at the front with him. Quite funny to hear from some of the old guard. Some sad stories, some funny, but mostly normal.
We went with Charne to have coffee somewhere since we were only 4 young ones there. Can you believe that on a Thursday evening, at 9pm, there are no coffee shops open in Windhoek, the capital?! So, we went back to Joe's Beerhouse and had some coffee there. The atmosphere there is just great, so we stayed about an hour and a half.
We decided to cur our trip short by 1 day since I was not 100% after the surgery. The next day we left at about midday, drove to Kang again, and slept over there. Saturday we were up early and got home at about 3pm.
A short trip, but worth all the money in the world. I already look forward to my next trip there. Oneday I want to go there and camp.
Dreams...
