Oasis

Hello All!

I have successfully made it to Bethanie, Namibia after three days of adventure! Unfortunately the internet here is about 8 dollars an hour, so I'll leave you with this preview of my next post, which I hope to be exhaustive:

Getting to the Namibian border with no cash and no working ATM's for hundreds of miles, and a 20 dollar car tax to pay.

Nearly running into an Ostrich on a country road.

Setting up a tent in the wilderness- all by my self!

Hope you are well, because I sure am!

  1. Hey Derek, just entered your blog yesterday and am having fun with the read! You bring back many memories of my ocean freighter job then hitchhiking 12,000 miles in Europe for 15 months when I was 23-4. Glad to hear that you are safe. Will be reading the shark story later today. You are gifted with a wonderful way with writing. Hello to Toukam. Keep doing what most choose not to do, due to their self limitation. Courage and actively seeking adventure with faith and trust is rare,am very proud of you Derek! Love Uncle Kimball

  2. Derek, your blog is a delight to read. Keep the postings coming. Loved having your parents join Claudia and I here for a few days, they are great folks. Look forward to seeing ALL your pictures and reading many more great posts. Keep on traveling. You are right in that you will learn much more about who you are this way than working in a stuffy suit and windowless office. Love, Jim G
