Hello Friends -
We have FINALLY managed to get internet access, courtesy of an overpriced internet cafe here in Windhoek. Yesterday, Max wrote a great blog, but when we clicked on "Publish", it evaporated into the ether. OK, max, do you remember what you wrote yesterday? Here goes:
HELP!!! Somebody send us a fast laptop computer. The one we used at the hostel was as slow as me doing my homework [mother's note: that is EXTREMELY slow!!!!].
We finally got here to Windhoek. It took us 3 days, 4 airplanes, a 10 hour wait in Frankfurt and a whole lot of jetlag. If you ever need a good place to have a nap, go to Frankfurt, climb up the bell tower of the cathedral, find a nice stone bench under the gargoyles, and sleep away. You'll have a great view, lots of fresh air, and nobody will steal your daypacks.
In the Frankfurter market there are lots of meats such as pig heads, pig feet, cow tongues, ox tails, cow stomach, heart, kidneys, whole skinned rabbits, etc. I took about 90 photos of meat alone (within an hour).
On the planes I watched "Green Lantern", "Cars 2", "Transformers 3" and one more. The flight from Frankfurt to Johannesburg was 10 hours long. Then we switched planes and took another flight for 2 hours to Windhoek, namibia, where we are at the moment.
We went to the German Church service yesterday morning. Afterwards I played the Star Wars Bar theme on their pipe organ. It was a neat experience. [mother's note - I'm not sure what God thought about the choice of music.]
If anybody wants a souvenir, ask me, delivery fee charged as extra.

Hi Max, Well this is a treat! I hope you're going to keep a running record of events on here too. Don't you just love it when you lose everything you just composed? (grrrr). Three days of plane travel... yup, that's PLENTY. Interesting stuff about the meats. Where are all the choice cuts? It sounds like the market supplies lower income folks. (Mmmmm, cow stomach). LOL@ the Star Wars bar theme! (I've been singing that in my head since you mentioned it). I'll bet God enjoyed that more than the usual stuff to be quite honest! :)...Andy
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience - you are so lucky Max; enjoy every moment. I'm "travelling with you" two :) All the best and Happy Trails! xox.. M-C
ReplyDeleteMax - any great places to do Parkour? You could double your traveling as a 'Park-tour'. Have a great time, stay away from the pig's heads and stay safe - *Pat
