Back into the desert

We drove back to Windhoek and Mama & Daddy had some coffe and lunch at their favorite coffe shop in Windhoek called “The Joy of Food.” On our way out of Windhoek, we saw many baboons. Sam saw their bottoms, wich pleased him very much. On our way into the Namib desert, the scenery looked like the Mojave desert, but with out the Joshua Trees.

Our destination was the Zebra River Lodge, a lodge in the middle of endless plateaus and mountain ranges. We had to drive through the beautiful Namib naukluft national park.

On the way to Zebra River it was also beautiful.

Once we got to Zebra River Lodge, a woman was already waiting with tall glasses of orange juice for each of us. There was also a cat that was half wildcat half housecat. That cat wasn’t like normal cats. She could jump remarkably high and would attack just about anything that moved ( including us ). The cats name was Phoebe

At dinner, I was the only kid in the lodge who was awake. Our hotel building was a stone house that’s bathroom door would lock on the inside if closed. Luckily, we had another bathroom. Each one of the beds had mosquito netting so that when I pulled it down I felt like a princess. I want one of those over my bed at home.
