Back in Namibiaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

It's taken a while, but I'm back in Namibia.  We had a wonderful last drive up through the Kgalagadi this morning and crossed into Namibia from Mata Mata camp.

The few hours drive - on superb gravel/dirt roads - into Mariental was interesting, and the time went quickly.  The amount of dust we found in the car when we opened the doors was a sight to behold!  The car is having a service in Swakopmund on Monday, so we think we'll ask them if they can clean the inside as well as the outside ...  :-)

And just to prove how difficult this life is .....



We're staying at the Bastion Farmhouse B&B tonight.  Quite an interesting place!  How often do you see this in rooms? 



And I made friends with one of the residents!



They have a lot of crafty work just about EVERYWHERE, but this one caught my eye



Thinking back to the choking giraffe, and his possible Facebook profile photo, I was playing on the drive, and thought perhaps this should be mine for a while?  Jen has already taken her new profile photo, and this would make a change from the bike gear.  It would def need some tweaking though!



What do you think?

  1. Hi Steph,
    love the upmarket resort style accoutrements at the B&B especially the fly swap..beats the little bottles of shampoo and shower cap.
    Just about to head out for Mother's Day Yum Cha at Sea Treasure Crows Nest with Wendy and Mike's sister and the tribe.

  2. Thought you'd love it! Now we're in Swakopmund and while a lot has changed, it hasn't really. Recognised the "German Chalets" we camped at last time!
