Swartz's celebration weekend on their farm.

So, I got an invite like some time back which involved a camping indication somewhere! I totally enjoy camping and the nature and the outdoor. So, I didn't even think about it, I've RSVP immediately.

It was some celebration invitation, hence I've named the weekend, our celebration weekend!

The journey started the Saturday morning just round about 12:00. The car was packed and we were on the road minutes after that. We prepared ourselves for some 130 km drive south from Windhoek, passing Rehoboth.



 We had a very good drive and then 60 km before we got to Rehoboth we decided to pull over and enjoy the scenery. Nafeesa is from JHB (I still love you too bits lover), so as you all know they really can't enjoy some beautiful scenes, but it's Namibia again, it's just one beautiful country PERIOD!!! I so so love Namibia, this is just home.

We've continued on our road trip, so excited and couldn't wait to get to the farm. Alex was also very excited to see the farm, and he was quite a good boy the whole road down to the farm.

As we were driving on the B1 to the south, we had to look to our left in order to get an indicator that would show us the turn off to the farm. And my friend Tani B, as creative and innovative as she is did this or let me rather said she ordered or delegated that this should be done. But this was a brilliant idea and we sommer got the farm quick quick.
Then when we got to the farm, obviously went on the greeting spree and then saw Tani B and we were one again. Always in the same boat, lag. I had some broken fingers, Tani B was bumped by a crazy guy while she was cycling, but we laughed about it after all, lag.

When the people said that the party is starting, we were like in huh? Obviously, because we were already partying, lag. We were really just having fun and it was all worth the drive. Later we've realised that we should maybe setup our tents before it gets too dark, and was that a mission and a half.

Finally done with my tent. Nafeesa quite an assistant.

 Well, those were the last pictures that was actually taken on my camera, still need to get a hold of Tani B and exchange some pictures.

After a very interesting and fun weekend, we headed home on Sunday morning round about 10:00, cause we still wanted to stop at my parents in Rehoboth and then visit the Oanob Dam (Or rather show Nafeesa).

Alex chose a perfectly fantastic and comfy spot on Nafee's lap while she was driving back to sleep. He's such an attention seeker, but tog te quite.

 So, at Oanob Dam, my brother decided to take some adventure and wanted to row. It was quite fun though, I had my own "adventure adrenaline orgasmic attack", lag!!!

And as I was rowwing they've decided to swim in the dam, my mother was totally overeacting at this point, cause she wasn't really at ease with them in the dam.


Nafeesa so wanted to take a picture with the adults, lag.

 We've seen this beautiful coincidence when we drove down and decided that we're going to capure it on our way back and yes, this is phenominally beautiful. Breath taking, I just loves this picture.


We were completely exhausted when we got in Windhoek and just literally took showers and slept till the next day, but it was all worth it. A fantastic weekend and thanks to Tani B and Stoffel, it was a great get away at the same time.


Till next time chikas.

Mwah!!!
