Africa Day 26

We went on a canoe ride in a traditional Namibian canoe called a Mokoro on the Okavango River this morning.  It was a little scary being on the river in a small canoe knowing there were crocs and hippos in the river, but our guides were very knowledgeable and knew the places to avoid.  Plus the water was very clear and you could see the bottom of the river clearly.  We saw hippos but no crocs.  It was very scenic.  After the canoe ride we drove to our next stop outside of Rundu Namibia.  Namibia is not a very populated country.  It is bigger than Texas and only has about 2 million people.  We have driven over 1000km in the country and only seen a few small cities.  We stayed at the N’Kwazi Lodge.  It is also on the Okavango River.  Across the river we could see Angola.  The kids really wanted to swim across the river so they could say they had been to Angola too, but the crocs and hippos scared them out of doing that.  We unfortunately didn't take any pictures from here because Kirt wasn't feeling well and I never remember to take pictures.

 We did go through the tall reeds for a while.  Katie and I really didn't like that

No one but Kirt ever takes pictures so he had to take one of himself
