Sunday 8th January 2017
Thursday I headed to Heathrow T5 – very excited about returning to Africa, but turned out to be a false start. Flight to J’burg got cancelled so it was Saturday before I finally arrived in Windhoek, Namibia – 24 hours later than planned.
It was a long trip as well…not improved by spilling a gin & tonic on myself only an hour into the first flight, breaking the zip on my hand luggage bag and having an uncountable number of children screaming on the overnight leg.
Therefore, I have done little else than sleep since I got here. But today’s mission has been to plan my time here which seems to be difficult on a Sunday… and looks like I’ll probably won’t fit everything in, but then I have an excuse to come back, I guess!
What I do know is that I will be heading on a three day safari on Tuesday to Etosha National Park – and they have rhinos… 🦏🦏🦏 So keep your fingers crossed for me that I will finally be able to complete my Big 5!
Now out for a quick walk… It’s supposed to be rainy season now and it did rain overnight but today there are clear blue skies, plenty of sunshine and 34 degrees celcious.
