We like Namibia!

We finally made it to Namibia. It took a long time to get here. We left our home on a Monday and did not get to Africa until Wednesday. We got to ride on four airplanes. Dad said that most people only ride one or two when they travel. The plane rides were long and me, Hannah and Corbin slept on most of them. Dad said that was great.

We got to see snow when we stopped in Germany. It was really cold there. We had to stay in a hotel for a long time to wait for our next airplane ride. We even got to eat in a German restaurant. We had hot dogs, but they didn't look like hot dogs that we eat at home.

Then we got to Africa, dad said it was South Africa. Then it was hot. I was glad because I like to wear short sleeves and shorts. Mom said I will get to where them a lot in Africa. Me, Hannah and Corbin were really tired when we got to South Africa, and we had to walk a long ways to get to our next airplane. It took us 45 minutes to walk there dad said.

But then after the last plane ride we were in Namibia. It was even hotter there. And when we got off the plane we got to watch a cool thunderstorm. We got to ride in a van with all our luggage. Dad said he was happy that all our bags made it on the planes with us. I was too because our box of toys was on the plane too!

We stayed in the Capital for a week. It was a lot different from home. Cars drive on the wrong side of the road, most people walk instead of drive and the food is really different too. They do not have Pop Tarts here in Namibia.

Finally last week we got to our new home in Grootfontein. Dad says the town name means big fountain. We really like it here. There are lots of animals here, lizards, and bugs too that we have never seen before. Here are some pictures for you to look at.
