The trip back to Grootfontien - barely worth the read!

Still no better, although a bit rested.  I've had a shower in the amazing outdoor contraption Ellen had built.  Its like a tank up on a tower that they pump water into from the river, you light a small fire in this metal thing and it heats the water as it runs through the pipes, giving you completely free hot water - on tap!  The water is so soft and luxurious after the nasty stuff in Grootfontein.

We packed the car and headed off.  I travelled back in the old 4WD with Jellie and Alex and lay down in the back seat and went to sleep nearly the whole way. 

We stopped at an internet cafe in Rundu and then again for a piece of pottery I wanted from the side of the road.  This was very poor pottery fired at a low temparature that was sold all over Kavango province.  [I managed to bring it home unbroken and it survived for a few years before it was knocked and fell; breaking into a number of shards.  I glued it back together and still have it though, I really love it.]

We rested at the Grootfontein unit for an hour, did some washing and then went out for supplies and then met up with Pastor Boet to make sure we had everything for our camping trip.

I managed to stay up till 9 talking with the guys.
