Chillaxing

We spent the day hanging out in Swakopmund. We slept til 8 am (luxury!!) and ate breakfast at the hotel. A relaxing morning getting organized, checking out and heading back to the hostel. Paul and Melissa have gone skydiving so they won't be back until after lunch.

We strolled around town some more and Brad bought a new fleece jacket. Not that we need more fleece but its been cold, especially at night, and all of our fleece is at home. I got a nice tshirt and Brad also picked up a fleece scarf.

It seems everyone here is trying to sell those little carved nuts!

We headed back to the hostel for lunch - schnitzel, salad, roll, donut, juice, chocolate and a banana. Very good schnitzel!! I guess there's still quite a bit of German influence here.

We picked up our laundry and headed back out. Many of the shops are closed for two hours in the afternoon so there's not much to do but relax. I had spotted some nice loose cotton pants in a small local shop that I wanted to buy for when it gets really hot. I liked this shop partly because it used local artisans but also because some of the proceeds went to fund an African AIDS project.

how do you steer
a planet gone wrong
decisions made
success defined not for
good but goods
how many can you get
more than you and thats all that matters
forget your impact on the network of life you are bound to
atleast from your mountain of trinkets you will have the perfect view when the last tree falls

We head for dinner with the group again tonight. This time we're going to the Lighthouse located by the water. More game meats on the menu! I have prawns this time. Very filling.
