Stargazing

We finally get chatting with others including one young woman from Garston and marvel at how small the (white) world is. Finally it's pitch dark by 8pm and the stars start to glow all around. A strong crescent moon takes away some of it but still it's the most stars I've seen for as long as I can remember. However the southern sky looks unfamiliar almost like an alien world. The Southern Cross, a prominent constellation for antipodeans is completely unknown to us. With everyone gone we head back to our hut and wrap ourselves in thermals, a duvet and blanket to finish our first day in Namibia.
