Feb 13: Windhoek - Capital of Namibia

After an early morning game drive in Etosha, we traveled to Windhoek located in the central part of Namibia. Windhoek is the capital of Namibia and gives a chance to wash our clothing, kick-back and relax mid-way through our journey towards Victoria Falls. Pictures of Capital. having wine with Kees/Nel (Holland) and Lucy (UK) and buffet dinner; excellent curry.

Introducing four more people from our original 12....Ben and Sietske are husband and wife from Holland...Ben is a muskrat exterminator...muskrats undermine Holland's dike system by boring into the dikes and establishing nests...I found his occupation most interesting; his wife Sietske operates two of Holland's many locks and their adjoining draw bridges; they have two children in their late thirties...they are great folks and have adopted me ...they help me set-up and break-down my tent plus being excellent company.
