Namibia Addendum: highs and lows

I forgot to mention all the funny/highlights/lowlights of the trip. Here is a little addendum to my last post.

-When we got to the airport in Cape Town, one of the people at check-in told me that I had not yet paid for my ticket. She say I had chosen the "pay later" option, and then proceeded not to pay later. Yup, sounds like me.

-Our last night in Windhoek we stayed in a hostel. It was a room for around 10 people and it was the first time that I had stayed in a hostile with people other than just my friends. Of course, we get stuck with a complete weirdo. He was probably 50, overweight, suuuuuppper weird and socially retarded. It was rather uncomfortable. The worst part, however, was that he was a HUGE SNORER. Literally, I slept in the car because I couldn't handle it. It was not normal. It sounded like he was dying. Dad- he gave you a run for your money.

-When sleeping in our tent, there were some pretty extraordinary animal presence. Not only did my friend Stew and I see some weird animal in the dark with green eyes, but we also heard some pretty terrifying howling all throughout the night.

-At one point, my friend Stewart accidentally took out 2,000 Namibian Dollars instead of 200. Aka, she is now stuck with N$2,000. Sucks for herrrrr

-My friend Nicky totally wiped out while sand boarding and we have an awesome video to prove it

-My friend Izzy could NOT pronounce Swakopmond for the life of her. She continually pronounced it as spelled, "Swa-KOPE-mond" when really it should be "SWA-ko-mond"

-Our sand boarding instructors were total pot heads!

That's all the highs and lows I can think of for now. Enjoyyyy
