6 July, Wednesday, Friends for 26 years!

6 July, Wednesday   Rundu to Otjiwarongo 
 
Willie wakes up with a brilliant idea: our next destination is
the Etosha National Park. The plan was for Willie, Hugo and Andrej to go in
  whilst I stay outside the Park as Sammie cannot go in. There are 2 ways to go
  to Etosha, of which the one is through Otjiwarongo. Friends of ours, Peter and
  Birgit, live and work in Otjiwarongo and Willie’s plan: to go via Otjiwarongo
  to say hi to Peter and Birgit. Oh how excited I am! 
 
We arrive at Okoruso Mine where both Peter and Birgit work and
are escorted to the administration buildings by a security guard. Seeing one
another again is a sweet and happy reunion and we decide to stay over for the
night. We have the most wonderful time of reminiscing about our adventures
  together. Hugo and Andrej are quiet as they listen and are given a small peep
  into a world and time that they were not part of. What a gift to be friends for 26 years! 

It gets even better, because we decide that I will stay withPeter and Birgit when the guys leave for Etosha tomorrow.

    "There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne - bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive. One only feels really free when one can go in whatever direction one pleases over the plains, to get to the river at sundown and pitch one's camp, with the knowledge that one can fall asleep
    beneath other trees, with another view before one, the next night." -
     Karen Blixen - Out of Africa, Kenya
    'Of course as I am reading this, I know that you DO get your visas and the container DOES get released, but oh the internal struggle we face even though we should trust (as Hugo does) that God has His hands on all things and is constantly taking care of us.'


    From a Friend:
    :) Crazy to think that we are ALL made of blood, bone and water yet we speak in so many tongues that getting along together becomes a massive task within itself.
