This post is not my typical post because it has almost nothing to do with overlanding Africa – well not entirely nothing, I guess, since it is about a reality of this overlanding trip. Instead, it is a short post dedicated entirely to Laura! Why Laura, I will tell you.
Nancy’s flight to Cape Town was delayed and she missed the flight to Windhoek, or at least that is my expectation as of right now while I write this post. In any event, she is almost certainly going to miss staying in this really incredible mini house. Bella’s mini house is close to the Windhoek airport and I booked this place so that Nancy would have a comfortable bed and accommodation to recover from the long journey. Well, that’s not happening it seems.
When I arrived at Bella’s mini house and did a quick reconnaissance I immediately thought of you, Laura, and how this place was made for you. Laura, I know you would just be happy beyond belief staying here. Indeed, it’s almost worth a plane trip for you just to experience this place!
This place is a few kilometers into the bush with nothing and nobody around or in sight. There is a mini house and a separate mini-mini house – Laura, this is analogous to our (your) hobby house apartment at our home in Colorado. I will mainly let the pictures do the talking, but let me briefly say that this place is immaculate and meticulously aranged and has every conceivable ammenity, including covered verandas, outdoor bathing tub and loo, swings and recliners of all sorts, braai cook area, campfire seating area, stone walks to and from everything, and views out over the bush and a small reservoir. The frig and freezer are stocked with all sorts of foods and drinks too. There’s even a strong WiFi. Check it out:
Ah, darn! What a uniquely special abode!
Mary
was this a special treat for Nancy’s arrival?
I am so honored Kevin you thought of me ! I can totally see myself here especially these days when life is so full. I’m sure I’m not the only one either. So sorry Nanc couldn’t experience it and also that she missed her flight. I probably Would come just to stay there . Sounds like it has all of our creature comforts . Probably doesn’t have mosquitoes either!
Nice! Although tiny by American standards, it must have seemed absolutely palatial compared to the Green Dragon, which of course also has so many amazing camping comforts.
