Driving to Victoria Falls

Tomorrow we are heading off to our next African adventure - for easter we will drive from Namibia to Zambia, crossing on the west bank of Zambezi River from a Namibian town called Katima Mulilo into Livingstone in Zambia. Victoria Falls is "shared" between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and can be viewed from both countries.

How to win a womens heart!

Yellow flowers are blossoming everywhere now that it has rained, and these lovely kids brought flowers to mommy :-)

Man tager hva man haver

Gabriel really likes to stack things, and found an excellent way to do so in our kitchen cupboards. He stacks canned food, noodles and now discovered the baby porrige boxes, and they are fun! Look how proud he is about his accomplishment!

Stepping on a snake.....!

While jogging with Sammy last week - I managed to, yes, step on a snake!!! I got so surpriced and scared that when I stepped on it, and it curled up around my shoe, I kicked my foot in the air - and kicked the snake onto Sammy....! Not really cool, but at this point I had literally no control over my foot! None of us got bitten - and the snake was probably very relieved when he was able to escape from us.

There are more than 90 snakes in Namibia, so you are bound to see snakes at some point. In the area we live, we mainly hear of the Zebra snake, the boomslang, and the puff adder - all of them venomous. So far I have only stepped on one (!), but seen a few when I've been out jogging in the area. The same goes for scorpions, I have seen several, but we have been lucky so far and not found any in our house like many others...(it probably helps that we live in an old trailer that's elevated from the ground!).
