After a second language lesson, I can sorta kinda hear and produce the four distinct clicking sounds required to speak Khoekhoe (KWAY-kweh-ko-AB), the language of the Damara. As soon as I can roll my Rs and hork flem, I'll have all the prerequisites.

Heading North - Swakopmund to Etosha
Rapheal has a car and has invited me to join him for the Namibian leg of his journey. We'll drive along the coastline to Cape Cross, then cut inland to the "Matterhorn of Namibia" at Spitzkoppe, head to the Waterburg Plateau, and then to Nambia's largest game park at Etosha. Six days in total, then Rapheal has to head back to Windhoek for a flight into West Africa.
