Greetings from the world’s end. After driving all day through the desert, we arrived late last night at Wereldsend, “World’s End,” the home base and camp of Namibia’s IDRNC: “Integrated Development and Rural Nature Conservation.” Our hosts, the Notts are a part of this organization. Trevor builds rural campsites; Karen wears a dozen hats, but is immersed presently in helping the Himba people harvest myrrh from the desert commiphora plant, which will then be developed into skin-care products by a major cosmetic company in France.

Namibia Report 2
Hi there everyone. We’re doing great. Just got back into Windhoek, to catch our flight to Jo-burg and on to Nairobi tomorrow. We’ll do some shopping today, have a nice dinner, spend the night in the Nott’s flat here (they’ve got a place here and a place in Omaruru), then head out early for the airport.
We’ve spent the last several days traversing the far north of the country, West to East. We crossed Etosha National Park, where there is a HUGE salty pan that is usually dry, but is now very wet after the best rains in 35 years. The park was fun.
