Okonjima, Namibia: 23rd September 2009


This morning the weather took a turn for the worse and we got stuck in a thunder storm, with lashings of rain. The rains aren’t due until November, so this was unexpected and we had to shelter in a random barn before continuing to the fence-rolling site. After a couple of hours hard graft we completed the stretch of fence we’d been working on – 7 kilometres in total! And as the wires are all in bunches of 5, this means we’ve rolled 35 kilometres of fence! Not bad going, Clive says we’re the best group he’s ever had. Of course!
In the afternoon we went for a drive and stopped at a watering hole to watch the sunset with a few beers.
Today was my (Paul’s) Mum’s birthday, I tried to call a couple of times and left messages. Mum, if you’re reading this, I hope you had a nice time and your flowers arrived!
