SOUTH AFRICA | Monday, 14 September 2009 | Views [391]

Heyyyyy,

So I am in Jo'burg aiport now waiting for my flight home, which is sad, just said goodbye to Gabi and Ed :-((( We left Swakopmund and went to Spitkoppe, it was a long drive but it was worth it, we watched some tribal dancing and had to sing something ourselves for them so we ended up doing the Macarena! It was not a stellar performance haha, then we slept outside under the stars, it was beautiful. We kept on asking Jo-Jo to turn off the moon but he said the switch was broken, typical men! We saw some bushmen paintings and climbed to the top of SPitkoppe with the aid of a chain which was really not very useful at all! The view from the top was amazing though. We had fish for dinner, Snouk and Hake, Owen cooked it on the fire, it was delicious! The next day we went to the top of one of the rocks and watched the sunrise, which are the best in Africa, they are so amazing! Then we left for the Himba camp. We spent a few hours in the Himba village, we took them gifts and gifts for the children and played games with the children, (and no Faye I didn't teach them a drinking game) haha. It was such an eye opener! They don't wash with water, and they don't have to shave because of this special stuff they use called ochre powerder, lucky! I want some! The village is owned by a man called Jaco who set up the village after he gave a Himba lady some medical attention ad now most of the children there are orphans. We left early again the next day and drove to Etosha, I love that place! Amazing campsite! Amazing waterhole, and amazing animals! We saw lions and elephants and giraffes and rhinos, right in front of us. The next day we went on a game drive and then we sat by the pool and pampered ourselves. Time is running out now so I will have to finish later, see you tomorrow lovely people! xxxx
