4th and 5th days in Namibia

On our fourth day in Namibia, we went for a game drive, which is known in America as a wildlife drive. We saw a lot of cool animals there, and I picked up a lot of the rocks that looked cool. We saw warthogs (below), kudu, and oryx. The rocks I found were all quartz. One was very big, the others were kind of small.


On the fifth day, at 7:30 a.m., I went to my school to take a test to see where I was. Regular school starts at 7:20 and I will get out at 1:40. I was there today for 2 hours for the test. The classrooms are divided in the outdoors in different buildings. Instead of fifth grade, they call it 'year 6'.


The first few days have been very exciting. I have tried a lot of new food and met new kids. The things I ate that were kind of weird were: kudu, crocodile, and some new fruits (pears that tasted kind of weird). The Pepsi Light does not taste the same as Diet Pepsi. They have different kinds of chips. At night, there are barely any cars, so you can sleep pretty well at night. Windhoek is pretty quiet.
