“I am tooreest!”

After lunch Andre and I went for a complementary paddle up the river in some canoes they have available for campers. It was rather pleasant with a number of birds to be seen on the water. We paddled upstream and floated back down 🙂

When we got back to camp I noticed a familiar looking Citi Golf parked at the site next to us. So I walked over and would you believe it, it was the same guy we met in the Moon Landscape! Even weirder still, he also met Julian (the French guy we met in Windhoek) and gave him a lift to Estosha. He also passed Thomas on his bicycle while making his was to Felix Unite. It’s a small world even when travelling. We ended up having a few drinks at the bar and then took a walk down the river just before sunset. The evening we had a braai and cooked the lovely springbok steaks we had bought that morning. Perfect ending to a wonderful adventure.

The next morning (Wednesday) we headed off to Kamieskroon to visit Auntie Jasmine. Unbeknownst to us it was also her 79th birthday! We had a braai and I showed her the photos from our trip. On Thursday morning we had a walk around the farm to visit all the places we a had frequented as children during the holidays when we visited. Then it was time to pack and head home.

Getting home early was also a surprise for Salome who I missed very much during our sojourn in Namibia.
