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.
