When I wrote you last evening, I figured I’d get one more chance to stroll around the grounds of the Trans Kalahari Inn, before we headed off for the airport, but I also figured I’d seen most of what there was to see. It would appear that I was mistaken on the latter. Almost asContinue reading “But wait, there’s more…”

A fine Namibian sendoff…

Things were quiet at first, but eventually this character popped up to sing usContinue reading “Greetings from Namibia!”
