I survived the 10 hours layover in Frankfurt – mostly by sleeping. They have these nice sort of lounge chairs around. I stalked them until someone finally left and had a good snooze!
I went to the Air Namibia counter then when they finally opened to check my luggage and get my ticket. The lovely lady there said she was going to upgrade me to Business class but I would still receive an Economy class meal. That really didn’t mean anything to me so I headed on through the security area and went to my gate.
They finally started boarding us and as I walked through the 1st class section I pinned for those lovely 1st class lazy boys (as I always do).
Then I arrived in the business class and find my seat. It’s the EXACT SAME as the 1st class!!! OMG I was freaking out – but just on the inside – I didn’t want to scare the people near me!
It was amazing though – the chair reclined almost completely and had a leg part come up as well. We even had real pillows!
Best sleep on a plane ever.
My luggage and I arrived at the Windhoek airport at 7:30 am. I bought a SUPER cheap phone (081 398 3789 if ya wanna call)
I made it into Windhoek by 9am and was picked up by Barvely and her boyfriend. We went back to his place so I could freshen up a bit. It was lovely to have a bath after traveling for 3 days!!
It was so nice to visit with Barvely for a bit – I barely got to see her at all last year!!
Her boyfriend and his dad made a little braai for lunch, which was super nice. But it was unlike any braai I’ve seen before!! They cooked a fish – a WHOLE fish! Scales, tail, eyes, teeth and all! I’ve never eaten a fish like that before in my life! It was surprisingly good though!
They dropped me back off at the bus terminal at 2. The ‘Town Hopper’ took me to Swakopmund. I arrived just after 6:30pm. It is SO great to be back! And a little weird too! For some reason I thought I would have forgotten more stuff but it’s still exactly the same! I can point out everything just like last year!
Mrs.Venter came to pick me up. We went back to her house and had a huge dinner with Scott, Nigel, Joel, Michelle and Garth! It’s so crazy to have so many Koko people here too! Nathalie and Kaitlyn are here as well staying at Engelhardt’s place (but I haven’t seen them yet)
I went to bed last night around 10:30 and slept straight through till 8:30 this morning! I don’t even feel like I have jet lag!! I guess having a good sleep on the plane is worth it!
I went shopping this morning for a few things I’d forgotten (like toothpaste! What the crap! I never forget toothpaste!)
Now I’m just waiting for Scott to show up. I’m going with the boys to climb Dune 7! Wedding workout – here I come!!
