28.10.2018 first day in namibia

                            Namibia

So yes I have been flying a lot today. Or was it yesterday? Whats today? Oh well whatever.

Everything went well except at the stop before namibia were I transfered to the next plane. That one wasnt very professional. I wasnt sure which direction to go for the security check so I asked at the information counter. There was a young dude leaned back in his chair scrolling on his phone. He just slowly looked at me and said: "How am I supposed to know?" 

So I kept searching and did find it however it was closed. It took about an hour until somebody showed up and started to let people through I was still able to get to my plane in time though.

I just landed in namibia now and will see if my visa and papers hold out through the immigration.

So the immigration worked out fine, I got my luggage, found my taxi and now I am on my way to the hotel.

In the shuttle I met Francesca from italy, she has holidays for 9days then she returns back to her family with her 14year old son. 

The hostel looks pretty nice, it has a nice little bar with daily dinner that you do have to pay for. However the breakfast is included. I am in a 4people bedroom with 2 seperate showers and a toilet, really nice.

I went to buy some things at the groceries center with francesca. Though they did say during the day aslong as you stay away from downtown you're save, however in the evening you shouldnt walk around alone too long. 

We were really confused with the traffic system. Some of the lights didnt work and there was no real place for us to cross the street. Also in hong kong they honk a lot. Not loud but just a very quick small honk. Everybody does that and its really confusing because you dont know if they honk because of you or something else.

I bought some fruit, yoghurt, bread, orange and a some sort of pizza piece. I had no idea how much money this was going to be. Also it took a bit longer since the cashier had to scan a few of my items that I didnt know I had to. All in all I had to pay 230Zar!! I had about 240 with me so that was really close. However when I later checked I found out thats that about. 15swiss franken so it wasnt really that much. Also I payed with the old money from the travels of Opa Kees😁.  The cashier was really confused and took a while to study the notes but in the end she did accept them. When I asked whats wrong she just said that she had never seen those kind of notes. 

at the hostel I ate my lunch, got my laptop and spend the rest of the afternoon here. 

Tomorrow I am getting picked up at 15:00 so I still got the entire morning for me.

Now I am going to take a shower and then go to bed. The next days I have no idea how I will do with Wifi and charging my phone so maybe this is the last blog for a while
