namibia....the 1st night and day 1 of the road trip!

so on the 30th april 2013 i flew to namibia to visit otto. i was soooooooooooo excited and extremely nervous at the same time. i wasnt looking forward to the flight AT ALL. all the panic and nervousness for nothing, flight went fine, no turbulence and the plane wasnt full. i had all 3 seats to myself.

the butterflies started going crazy as we came into land!

the first night we checked in at arebbusch in windhoek. after setting up the tent we walked to the restaurant for a burger and drinks. it was a perfect evening, good company and good food.


the next morning we packed up and went and did the grocery shopping for the few days. after the shopping we walked through one of the malls and had breaky at wimpy. we then started our road trip .....

our first destination was sesriem, where we spent 1 evening. it was a beautiful scenic drive. 



on our way we stopped in solitaire, a very very small town (if you can even call it that).


on arriving at sesriem, we were told the main camp was fully booked. they had a overflow camp which was a little distance from everything, in the middle of no where kinda, so we decided to camp there. we were the only people camping in that area. once set up, we took a drive to the canyon. we took a walk around and then had a drink while watching the sunset.




we then headed back to the camp, where we found that we werent the only people camping in the middle of no where anymore. after the braai, lying on the mattress outside, looking at the stars, we were asked to join the other people for a drink. foreigners, hilarious, is all i can say. was a lekker evening!

AND this is what otto did for me. he took a pic while spelling out my nickname. made my heart smile!
