Namibia - Day 15 - Project Day 5 - Tubusis


Day 15 – Project Day 5 – Tubusis

Didn’t have time to write on this day, so writing in retrospect.
Went to church service. It was definitely an eye opener. They all sing really well. We did a rendition of Wonderwall which was shite; the Lord’s prayer went down well though.
The vicar went rambling on about an analogy of God and humans being like a car crash. Strange, but I suppose when you do a service every week, you need to use your imagination after a while.

We had eggs for lunch. Omelette or scrambled. I was thinking in the church about eggs. What drove a person to sample the remnants of a chicken’s reproductive system in the first place anyway? It confuses me. Well… it baffles me. Eggs are nice – granted – but who would think of first eating them?

Went up another mountain in the evening. It was a right climb. So much for Sunday being the day of bloody rest! Scrambled up to the top and couldn’t even admire the view due to picking shit out of my socks. One word to describe Namibia… prickly!

Made bolognaise. But, made too much, so me and Lawrence had a massive amount of sauce. Another problem; our pasta was cooked in very starchy water, and so merged into a gloop of crap. The bolognaise couldn’t penetrate the rapidly cooling mush below, and so had boiling hot bolognaise, followed by cold, tasteless pasta.

Did some star gazing. Saw 12 shooting stars. Go me!
