Botswana

I had a great time in Vic Falls, again! I went white water rafting on the Zambezi River!!!! It was so much fun I can't wait to go back when the whole river is open and do it again. It was sad to say goodbye, again, to the friends that I made there but I will keep in touch or just have to come back to visit, lol. I have started my new overland truck trip and so far so good. My new tent mate is from London and a ball of crazy energy, she and I have a lot of fun together. :) We have spent the last three days in the Okovango Delta. It is fantastically beautiful there but the trip itself was a bit of a let down....our guide was kinda lazy and we suffered for it. Oh well better luck next time. We also did a morning game drive in Chobe National Park which was fantastic as we saw lots of hippos and a leopard kill! To top off that day we took a nature watching sunset cruise. Talk about animal overload. We are headed to namibia tomorrow which I am very excited about but sad to have only spent a week in Botswana, I need so much more time. It has been fucking cold here!!!! (sorry for the language) By cold I mean I had to buy a blanket to put inside my 32 degree sleeping bag while wearing my hat, long sleeve shirt, a shirt, pants and warm socks!!!! I deffinately didn't think that winter in Africa was this cold but hey I keep on learning new things. Well thats it for now, short update. I will hopefully be getting a Namibian number either tomorrow at the border or in the next day or so for those of you who call. Hope all is well at home. Oh yeah one of my roomies is moving to Oregon for a new job...not sure what that means for the living situation. Changes, changes, changes. Good thing I've gotten used to being flexible. LOL
