Well, I've arrived in Namibia with no problems. My trip was fairly uneventful on the whole, with only an old man playing a harmonica on the plane to liven things up. The Johannesburg airport is very confusing. Nothing is clearly marked and there are lots of strange hallways. Still, I managed to find my way and I met up with a girl who's going to Harnas, too. Her name is Louise and she's very nice.
On the drive to the hostel, we saw a couple of baboons. I got very excited but then I remembered that there are baboons at Harnas. Plus, baboons aren't even an animal that I'm particularly fond of. I think it was just the thrill of seeing them running around in the wild.
Louise and I went into Windhoek and had dinner and looked around. It's a really neat city -- very different from anything I've every seen. The people drive like maniacs and honk at everyone. We almost got run over a couple of times.
Anyway, I'm going to have a shower and go to bed. I haven't really slept in the last few days. I probably won't be able to write again for a while but I'll do my best!
xoxo Becky

Great to hear that you are doing alright!
You're freaking out over baboons? I wish I was there when you see the Cheetahs for the first time!
haha
Have fun and hopefully you get to write again soon!
Happy to hear you arrived safely! See, you CAN find your way without a map. Ha! Ha! You are not missing a thing here, as fas as the weather goes. It's been raining since you left, and it was 9 or 10 degrees today. Not typical June weather! Your horses are fine. Keep in touch and be sure to elaborate more on your impressions of things next letter. Karin.
Glad you made it! I can see why you would have a problem with baboons...you do have brothers!!
Keep in touch as best you can. Love, A. Joanne
Beckyyyyy! I am glad you arrived safe and sound. How was the jetlag?
Hope you are having a super time! :D
P.S. I loathe baboons. I think they are disgusting.
Miss you! I bet you're having an AMAZING time though. Aussie said he'd love to meet up with you while you're in Melbourne... You should facebook him. :P Can't wait to hear alllll about it over a Disney marathon and baked goods. <3
