But in the meantime here's an easier to digest list of some things that I remembered.
- Namibia is a dry, arid country which is still very Germanic.
- The tap water in Namibia is drinkable. (First country I've been in on my travels out of Europe that has been.)
- Quadbiking across the desert with dunes as far as the eye can see is very cool!
- Flying eight metres above the desert in a Cessna is even cooler.
- Jagermeister is a very good drink to keep you warm on cold nights. (And is now served in Wetherspoons pubs over here with Red Bull!)
- The area where Brad and Angelina had their baby isn't all that.
- Herds of elephants do have personalities not unlike those depicted in Disney's animated "The Jungle Book."
- Zebra can pair up, facing opposite directions and lay their heads on each others backs to rest.
- A giraffe drinking sounds just like someone slurping through a really long straw.
- Lions are lazy buggers but when a Cheetah approaches they all perk up ready for a good scrap.
- The roads are very quiet with hardly any traffic but this didn't stop us being stuck in the first traffic jam I've been in caused by a bull elephant walking down the road.
- Wearing factor 30 sunscreen means that you come back after two weeks in a bloody hot and sunny country with no tan whatsoever, boo! But no sunburn either. (Hooray!)
