Look back and remember: We left later than planned. It is such a huge leave - leave Europe to travel for 6 months to Swakopmund in Namibia. So many questions, so many uncertainties: we are facing the unknown, roads and countries not traveled before.
Insa came to say goodbye and Rick prayed for God's protection over us, the car, our journey.
We had to mail our newsletter to supporters as well as the headlights of the car to a friend of Willie's from a post-office in France. It was after 2 when we were done and we knew we would not be able to travel too far as it starts to get dark by 5pm. We found a camping ground in Wintersdorff, Rastatt, but it was closed, because of winter! We decided to camp in the parking lot by the camping grounds. It was already freezing cold and Willie and Hugo had to pitch the rooftop tent in the dark. It took a long time, because none of us really knew what we were doing. Sammie and Hugo slept in the car and Willie and I in the tent. I had to get up 2x during the night for a pee-pee and it was snowing! So, so cold!
