Back From Namibia
“I could live here” she said, breaking the silence, or maybe she said I’m alive here. I can’t really remember, that part of the day is a bit hazy, I was still reeling from a triple dose of tranquilizers. Yes, I’m still terrified of flying. We were about 200 very odd kilometers east of Windhoek, barreling past Windvlei in a bakkie with a camo canopy. I was getting slowly hypnotized by the same stretch of desert being repeated every five meters like a bad spaghetti western, being softly battered by the Namibian sun sucking the last bit of liquid through my pores. V was chatting to Morne, tomorrow he would be marrying Erika – possibly one of the coolest brides I’ve ever met – in a ceremony in the middle of the desert.
Three days later, about four kilograms heavier, I would be back at the airport, having eaten all the pies and most of the wildlife in the area … cooked to perfection of course. I could name all the amazing people we met and who treated us like family, but there were so many, I’m going to send you something personal instead. I think V still wants us to move to Namibia, I’ll be on a diet for the next three months.
Back on the plane, caffeine desperately trying to outwit and outlast the tranquilizers … it doesn’t stand a chance .. consumer grade Columbian export vs pharmaceutical grade tranqs. The sign in front of me says Fasten Seat Belt While Seated, Life Vest Under Your Seat, someone passes their child to their sister over the chairs, the tranqs are winning, my eyes are starting to feel sandy and we’re almost back home. I just have to get through the landing.
I’ll post a couple of images from our Namibia wedding later this week.
