Okavango Delta come back here with Kayak (continued, p.2) We saw only a small part of Botswana. A little sorry that it happened. For Africa, this republic at least a bit unusual in that the date of independence for her its fame as a country with good governance. For this reason, one way or another, it can be considered unique. Botswana has the impression of a well-organized country, quietly prosperous, and even moderately fair. One of our guides told us, for example, that they could even obtain their own meat in the Delta, breeding cows and hunted here. Now all this is done they can not because of restrictions imposed by the rules of the national park, but now you can earn a lot more tourists. He was of the view that much more important to attract revenue from tourists than to get a piece of meat. The guy was from the village, who migrated from the island. Yes, they left their homes, but now they had a hospital, school, and good roads. Houses they were not provided, here they should build itself. One of the locals houses in Botswana is different, but basically they are more capital than familiar to us African tents made of mud and twigs. In their construction using concrete blocks and clay bricks. We all have some sort of garden, adjacent to the home territory of the sweep and rake every day. There are almost no waste, and waste treatment are also well established. Bushmen Camp Nkvazi is in Namibia, at the border with Angola. We have not crossed the border, but felt the power of the Angolan waters. During the night rain formed streams, and we were cut off from the truck, which had previously been driven off the hill. The camp will be remembered Nkvazi quality food that we served. From the camp Am Woo-Woo not a short path, and we arrived at the scene rather late, so special for us were ordered to prepare dinner in a restaurant, so we have not had a bite with anything in the truck. Have done for us smorgasbord of three courses, where the main dish consisted of three different types of roast cauliflower with white sauce, fried potatoes, etc etc. It was found during the trip I throughout this very, very bored. The word "Namibia" apparently means something like "a flat, dry plain." In Namibia, there are mountains, but "flat dry plain is suitable for a general description of the country could not be better. We arrived here at the end of the rainy season, so there is now full of different vegetation. In areas where we traveled, population density is quite low compared to those places where we have recently moved. Farm is very big, but the city shares a fairly decent distance. Cities look pretty well and are strongly reminiscent of Queensland or Central Australia. The roads have so far been good, in shops and supermarkets are filled with products. On the terrain to travel a pleasure. We also remember a trip to the town of San Bushman. You've probably heard about the discrimination the Bushmen in their own country. They are ridiculed as if they were ignorant provincials. The film "Gods Must crazy" (a film about how the bushman in remote areas faced by modern civilization, ca. Perevi.) Must be helped to improve the West's Bushmen, because after he went on television a number of programs on skills and culture of the Bushmen. They were natives of this part of the world, and from time to time to overtake the invaders from all sides. Several Bushmen have organized about 90 km from the city Hrutfonteyn "Living Museum". We camped on an appropriate area in the village, which occupies a very large area. The first to contact, as is usually the case, the boys went. They were followed by girls. They are very interested in everything that we have, and what we do, but obviously they've seen it all. Those who still had the strength, the boys started a football match. Played an almost equally and fairly briskly, although the rules were, and some correction. Bushmen show off their skills very pleased all our cameras. Children know what it is and how it works, and posed with great pleasure. I have enjoyed great demand, as videotaped children who have demonstrated they know karate techniques. After filming a crowd had gathered to look at how they turned out. Children are perfectly amused by photographing each other in sunglasses, hats and all that they could find. Unlike other children with whom we have met, these kids play a little with things and politely returned to their owners without unnecessary reminder. If this camp us something and to remember, so it is a cow that chewed clothes. I suspect that we went to sleep under their favorite tree. They came at night, pulled down all the things that dried up in the tent or on a rope, and order them to chew. They messed up my towel, but most of all suffered our friend Janet. That ill-fated night, she hung a lot of their stuff. Many of them the next morning we found scattered across the plain, but they got too serious. The clothes were covered with holes and is very dirty. Start material: Completion of material:
