Hello eveyone!
I'm trying to upload some pictures right now, it's a little slow but I'm trying to make it work. Im in Swakupmund, Namibia at the moment. Oh shout out to Mr. Squyres if your reading this! I went to this theatre ( I think maybe called the Capital Theatre, but I'm not sure) Anyways Hitchcock has been there as well as Michael Jackson!
But anyways from Zambia and Victoria Falls we continued on through Botswana where we stopped at a salt pan the size of Switzerland. We slept out on the pan for one night with no moon, there are not words to describe how incredible the stars were. After it had gotton dark I walked out on to the salt pan until the fire at camp was just a small pin prick in the distance, I have never experienced complete and total scilence before in my life. I never imagined that one of my favorite parts about Africa would be the absolute nothingness of the salt pan.
From there we headed to the Okavonga Delta where we slept in the bush. We poled boats called mocorros, out on the delta.
There is much in between that I am skipping, incuding classes, which are just as interesting as the trip itself. I have a final Travel Journalism article due tomorrow and if I have the time I'll type it up and send it home!
We also speant two days at the Cheetah Conservation Fund where I had the opportunity to see cheetahs run, within an arms length from me.
It's been an incredible journey, challenging no doubt, but one of the best decisions I have ever made. I'll be in South Africa around on the 23, that may be the next internet. So until then (maybe!)
Love to you all,
phoebe
And I'll try to get some pictures up in a minute!
