Up north

Have arrived safely in the north of the country after a flight where I am left to believe that the pilot is fairly new. Honestly, the approach into Ondangwa airport was hilarious. The number of times he slowed and then sped up to try to keep to the right decent path, I lost count. The best bit was the sudden acceleration to clear the perimeter fence ahead of the runway.

It was an Embraer ERJ135. No, me neither!

The lunchbox during the flight that was presented was very cute.

Phew, it’s hotter up here than in Windhoek, by about 7°C. I suppose I am back closer to the equator.

The drive from Ondangwa airport to Ongwediva was interesting. Dozens upon dozens of goats roadside, with a fair few donkeys and a lot of cattle. We had to stop to let a very impressive bull move from our path.

Why am I here? I’ll be delivering 2 workshops tomorrow to 4 campuses in the north, almost the Angolan border.

I’m booked into a wonderful guesthouse, Mango guesthouse in Ongwediva.

Beer and food now before a restful night’s sleep. I want to be at my best for my delegates, no short changing anyone.
