Happy New Years!
I am now back in beautiful sunny and hot Swakopmund.I left Vadim in Windhoek this morning, as he flied home today.... that aside I can really must say our trip was AMAZING, it truly was nice to finally take a real holiday. It was by far our best holiday ever!
Vadim and I spent New Years deep in the Namibian Safariland of Etosha National Park, travelling from water hole to water hole through the desert to see lions, elephants, rhinos,ostriches, etc. It was great- we saw lions three times, once we were 1.5 metres from two male lions! It was incredible to see all the animals. When we saw our first giraffe we were both so excited and took a zillion photos! In total we took over 250 photos -all my 2 memory cards could hold.
We rented a tiny compact car and braved the heat -of 40 degrees- without AC. In the national park it is forbidden to leave your car, so we travelled all day in the car, usally in the mornings and late afternoons and then each night we stayed at one of the park's three rest camps in the park. These "camps" were more like run down basic resorts. The last one though was very nice and looked as though it had been recently renovated. I kinda wished we had more time to really enjoy it. But c'est la vie, I had to go back to work and so did Vadim!
Overall our trip was amazing, we really had a lot of fun! I am now back to "work" aka 24 hour participant management and conflict resolution! I hope to give another update soon.
We wish you all a very Happy New Year, and all the best for 2006!

Happy New Year to the two of you and may the new year bring much happiness and contentment to you both.It sounds like you trip to the game reserve was truly a great time, save the 40 degrees with no air, but the wild life sounds like it was a neat experiance. Bye for now . Brenda.
