Thursday Early
Evening
Knowing this adventure is almost over makes me hyperaware of
so many things I have come to take for granted over the past six weeks: I
treasure every moment and every degree of temperature and every moment without
cloud or rain. Soon I will be home and unafraid of direct sun, sleeping with
covers with weight and getting through the day without my fingers and feet
swelling up (and slimming down overnight).
And because I am hyperaware of the impending end of this
journey, I am already thinking about how to be somewhere warm again next
Christmas.
But Steve and I ended our trip to South Africa with a superb
high at Ukutula. Namibia has been super interesting (but awfully hot for Bwana)
but I will end this adventure to a hot and dry country with two nice days in
Meno a Kweno Tented Camp in the infamous delta area of Botswana. Meno a Kweno
looks lovely in the brochure I have, like the exquisite tented camps of
Tanzania. Here’s hoping…
Whether or not there will be Internet there remains to be
seen.
As usual, walking in hot dry Windhoek, I was drawn to the
steeples. I love architecture of faith and here is no exception. Churches are
my sanctuaries when I travel (when they are not in services). I can be cool,
usually alone, feel safe and relax in a church, no matter where I am or what
faith.
The plan is I get picked up at 6:15 am tomorrow for a 9:15
flight to Botswana, followed probably, by a long drive to the delta. Plan B, is
that my hotel takes me if the driver does not show up. More whenever….
Look at those nice round lines!
