Matt's Visit

The time after Mozambique was pretty dull and stressful. There was a lot of work, which in Botswana involves running a constant wild goose chase. Thankfully, Matt arrived in the afternoon in mid October. He was dressed in a sweatshirt, jeans, and jacket; I quickly warned him of the 90+ (that's in the 30's celsius, folks) heat. We sat around, got a taxi, and headed to Innisfree Apartments. There there was air conditioning! A pool! A most importantly, Matt. For some lucky reason the jet lag hadn't him yet and he said he felt up to dinner and drinks, so we struck out for Riverwalk where we got dinner at Linga Longa. It's a good place for food and has a pleasant pub-like atmosphere by the bar. This is where Matt discovered Windhoek, a Namibian beer found all over Southern Africa. We talked over drinks for a long time before Matt finally began to feel the effects of travelling thousands of miles across two continents and the Atlantic Ocean. We headed back to Innisfree for sleeping. The end of the day one.
