Busy doing nothing

Wed 29 Jun 2016 - Uis

A late morning precluded us from visiting the cave paintings today (we had been advised against being out in the midday heat) so we lounged around around for awhile reading the Brexit news and the state of the pound. By a set of fortunate circumstance we have our accommodation for the next two weeks booked and paid for and a large amount of South African Rand, which is readily useable in Namibia, in cash. Hopefully, by the time we need to call on the faithful GBP again it will have recovered some of its former might against the currencies of southern africa.

Once news’d out we lay in the sun for a while and before we knew it was lunch time. As old folks we had a nice snooze after lunch then Yvonne gave Glenn’s hair a good trim and we did a spot of reading on the history of the African countries we have visited. Now late in the afternoon Glenn went for a walk but, as you can see from the following map, there is not much to Uis so it didn’t take long.


Retirement really is great. We did nothing today, yet it passed effortlessly and we really enjoyed it.
