namibia update

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

we are in windoek, namibia.  our flight to maun, botswana got cancelled out this morning, so we are using our free time in windhoek to get online and update our blog. 

 for the last few days, we have been staying at a wonderful lodge called sossusvlei mountain lodge which is in the middle of namib desert.  we got to check out the surreal reddish red sand dunes, desert safari ride, and atv-ing up and down the dunes!  it was quite an adventure for susie as she has never ridden an ATV before and she has done it marvelous job going up and down the dunes!  as our airline air namibia given us (and my parents, too) hotel vouchers for the windhoek, we are looking forward to our stay in okavango delta which is a combination of desert and swamps! the unusual about this place is that it doesn’t even run out to ocean at all.. the delta just simply ends at the desert where water dry out or go underground…

i find that it is difficult for me to update this blog when we are always on the move often.  so bear with us if you want to or you could visit our blog in march when we can try to overload this blog with many journal entries!
