Africa Day 25

We drove to Namibia today.  We got to our hotel outside of Divundu called the Ngepi Camp.  It was a very cool yet odd place.  The rooms were all bush huts.  They had solar power and water from the river.  The kids hut was about 20 feet from the water, but Kirt and I’s was a tree house.  It wasn’t really a tree house, but a platform that was right over the water.  It was really awesome.  We saw the sun raise right from our bed.  When we got there, the kids and Kirt went swimming in the river.  The river is full of crocodiles and hippos, so the swimming pool is an area in the lake with a cage around it so the crocs and hippos can’t get in.  When we were sleeping, I woke up about 12:30am and I could hear a hippo eating grass right under our tree house.  It woke me up a few times that night when it grunted.

 This place had a thing for random toilets.  There were toilets in little huts all over.  This was the Garden of Eden toilet.
 This was the toilet of tomorrow.  (There wasn't actually a toilet so I didn't really get it.)
 This one said, pull here to call the dung beetles and the toilet flushed when you pulled the cord 
This was a toilet with a view.  The toilet looked off into the wild.
