No one helped us with our tent this morning and we couldn’t fit it in the bag. After 5 minutes of jumping up and down, we gave up trying to deflate the thing and left the bag half velcro’d for the tent people. Besides, it was only day 4 and the people in charge of fitting all the tents in this tiny space -- Wayne, Paul & Peter -- couldn’t possibly have known who tent #9 belonged to.
We drove north through the Namibian desert towards Sesriem today. An interesting tidbit was that to our west lay the vast Namibian diamond mines owned by De Beers. It was crazy to think that for 10 straight hours, just 50 miles west of us were security guards armed w/ current AK 47 bullets guarding an area teeming with my best friends: diamonds = )
Anyways, the long drive day meant another day of card games. This day belonged to the Aussies however as Scott, the 40 y.o. fun loving beer guy from Down Under, taught us how to play Yuka 500. It was nice having something new to play but as the game had a lot of variables, the other Aussies kept quipping about the version that they knew and played, complicating things just a bit. Or was the confusion because of the constant beer o’clock hour? Hmmm.
