Taxi through Namibia

Sunday 17th of February

The taxidriver came during the meeting and wanted to leave for Windhoek, everybody was waiting for us. Bianca persueded him to wait for 45 min, leaving Trine with only 15 minutes to say her good byes, if the meeting had not gone over time. We rushed to change close and get into the taxi. Trine was very proud, she kept in her tears, until Astird, this stubbern, attitude-girl was gonna say bye and wouldn't stop crying. Trine wasn't even sure Astrid liked her! First minutes in the taxi, were a bit emotional, the detaching, pretending there is still a while left.

Trying to get normal pictures if us is a struggle, but we do try.

We were a bit surprised the taxidriver was in such a hurry to leave, often they wait until the taxi is full. Often there is up to 15 people, but we were only 8 or 9. By the way, the taxi is not really a taxi, it's a Wolkswagen bus or something like that. The one we went with was even a new one, very luxerious:) Anyways, we were happy to have the extra-space, it was hot enough! Dropped Angie in Keetmanshoop, oi its hot! Got some more to drink and an ice-cream.

Very hot Trine

Laughed our way through Namibia, partly because of the drivers taste in music, partly because we're funny people...or maybe easily amused. You take your pick. Bianca made a music-video with Trineohanna interpeting Phil Collin's "Another day in Paradise" in to sign-language, take note, niether really know sign-language.. 

Trying the arabic-trick drinking hot things in the heat, in Mariental

Well in Windhoek we went to Elin and Lars-Erik, just chillin' for the evening. Having some peope over for tomorrow evening! 

Things we didn't know how to:
Organize a picture of the congregation in 15 seconds
Say proper bye-byes
Take the taxidriver for serious
Get cool enough in the taxi
Get the driver to turn down the volume, very loud, imagen one speaker in the back and the driver wanting to have it loud in the front...

Lessons:
Taxidrivers don't necisserily keep their word
Namibian taste in music is were others were 20-30 years ago
Ooooor they are just very comfortable with listening to a bit too buttery Phil Collins, Celine Dion, Kenny G, and all the smooooooth-singers you can think of.
