sailing at the atlantic

Thursday 14th of February.

Luderitz from a whole new Angie...sorry...meant angle!, of course I did!

When trineohanna First arrived in Luderitz they said: "Oh it would be so nice to go out with a boat, and to see the penguins."  But after the time went by the time WENT by...And it seemed like we would never get to see any penguins, at least not together. 
But than what happens? 
Out of "the blue" (that is a saying, like to say very unexpected) this early thursday morning, trineohanna is sitting on a lovely wooden sail boat, with nothing but a smile and a "little" big expectations! We are on our way to see Luderitz in a whole new angle! :) hihihihi 

We have been told to dress warm! Nice that we listen sometimes, because it is cold, even this sunny morning. Very good for Hanna's cold, what doesn't kill you make you stronger as Roland puts it)

Agate beach from a new angle

Aunty Latitia in the back

Andre, our rough sailor

Andre, who is sailing with us, normally works as a diver, diving for diamonds. He think it is very exiting. He is originally from South Africa but has been living here for some time now. He looks a little rough, matches the boat, and all the surroundings just melt in to one. The desert in the horizon matched with edgy cliffs..This is amazing.

We get to see dolphins, seals, PENGUINS, they are so funny and very polite. They bow when they meet! Just as our penguin friend, MR.Penguin you know who you are! ;) 

Got our course set for Halifax Island and the....

...penguins of Halifax Island, they are small, very charming and somewhat impossible to get a proper picture of when you don't have a better camera than we do......

After all this exitement (and it is only 9 o clock in the morning) we get HOT CHOCOLATE! Hot chocolate has never tasted so good!! We promise! Mmmmmmmmm

Hot chocolat never tasted better, timing! Angie was also there....taking the picture...

Than turning the ship home (Hanna is the one good with all the phrases you use at sea... sorry for the amateur me) they set sail. They turn of the engine, and it gets all quiet!! wow And everyone on board gets quiet. More peaceful than this and you would think you where dead.. eeeh. Relaxing, that is what it was.

A WONDERFUL start at this bright shining day.

We go home, rest a little. Go out for service a little while, still thursday our day "off", but we have been touristy a lot this week. Turns out Regina needs some help with a job application sotakes some time and her family starts coming home. Rescheduling study for tomorrow.
Go home to study for to night, rest a little bit (Hanna is still a little sick, maybe boat trip and wind not the best Idea..but who says we have to be smart all the time, we are still young and ..... how did it go again? :b) 
We order Pizza for dinner. Really good Italian Pizza:) mmm 

Meeting is as usual uplifting. After the meeting we clean the kingdom hall apartment for our Norwegian brothers that are on their way from cape town.

After a LOONG day it is good to get to bed. Allthough for me now the time has starting to run really fast! 
And I don't want to leave this fantastic place or my FANTASTIC Hanna! I get sentimental.Still the tierdness gets a fast grip and ... zzzzz

Things we didn't know how to: 

Posing in front of a camera in the windy wind 
Clean the kindom hall flat after a long day with a BIG SMILE. 
(kind of a more "lets get this done" look in our eyes.. yes, No smiling, horrible people.. we write like the men in the Bible, all about the truth, so you know that you can trust us:p)

Lessons:

trineohanna now knows that posing is not our thing, action that is more us, or making faces.
trineohanna still cleaned the kingdom hall flat with the help of others. sometimes the job just needs to be done. 
trineohanna smiled when the cleaning was done. Like all (in)sane ladies
