Delana's big night!
We reluctantly left the farm early on 28th October for Markus's & Erika's farm just outside Tsumeb. They had very kindly offered to host the event & even more kindly, gave us three nights free accommodation in their safari tent.
This is the sight that greeted us!
Bit of work to do then!
Pipes have arrived, so we can get some water laid on!
Kitchen being built!
Toilet being fitted!
Delana's birthday is actually on 2nd November, but as this is mid-week & friends are working, then we moved the party to Friday evening on 29th October. There was just one catch! We had to build most of the venue first!
Shade netting going on that afternoon.
Our gazebo was erected to provide an entrance.
Delana placing salt arrows on the
track, so people can find the venue!
Another problem was the the venue could only be reached by a vehicle with low ratio 4x4! So we had to vastly improve about 80 meters of track & turn it into a passable road! All hands to the wheel on this one! We made progress that afternoon but still everything to do in the morning.
Roof going on!
Getting there!
Time to relax!
The cement mixer was a bit of an eyesore
& it couldn't be moved in time.
So, we made it into a lighting feature!
Ready for people to arrive!
Getting set!
Food & drink at the ready.
The view at sunset & people are here!
Vera, Elgin & me!
Camp Delana!
Froggie!
We all had a very enjoyable evening. The problem with having places to stay all over thee place, is that one doesn't get to see people that often. What with the global pandemic & our travels, we hadn't been to Namibia for quite a while. But it was great to see people again. We both love Namibia! Till the next time!
Happy Birthday Delana!
