Our clocks have been way off with all of us likely to be up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night. Our first couple of days at the Cresta Lodge have been rather difficult. We decided to stay here again as this is where we had stayed during our August 2006 trip and we liked it. I think this time we may have suffered from the effects of the long Xmas holiday. We were first put in a room that was really hot and even though the maintenance guys came to check it a couple of times, no improvement. Finally, today we realized that we just needed to change rooms and were immediately much more comfortable in a room with air conditioning that worked. There have also been more flies and mosquitoes than we expected. The internet was not working anywhere in the hotel and the pool was a big disappointment; not as clean as we would have liked. The kids jumped in and quickly out again Saturday morning. We were also still quite exhausted and I was having a hard time getting hold of the people I needed to in order to arrange our Monday morning move and and and. On Saturday night Moses’ Namibian-Tswana friend Master Jacobs Moelenyane joined us for dinner at Chatters. This time Moses had oxtail with pap and Kuno thought it looked really good!
This morning we slept till 10 after being awake for a couple of hours in the middle of the night. We all took showers which helped our moods and then went to OK Foods to get some cool drinks and Russians and chips. When we got back to the hotel we saw that the Business Center had been opened up after the Xmas holiday and so we could finally get online for a bit. The free weekend wireless from the hotel was unfortunately still unavailable. That helped to lift our spirits; we could catch up on what was going on at home and also let people know that we had arrived safely. Then we made the room change which lifted our spirits again.
