Doing the tourist thing with friends from Oz

This month we had a visit from Margie's dad and our dear friends the Bayleys! They came bearing bags and bags of books and gifts from our very generous friends and family around Maitland. How we miss them all!!

They stayed for two and a half weeks and we managed to pack a lot into a short time. Margie travelled with them into the Etosha Game Reserve and had three days shooting wild-life (with a camera of course).








We also travelled to the coast together. It was the first time that we had been to the coast since arriving in Namibia. The smell of the 'salt air' was just beautiful after nearly six months without seeing the beach! We had a great time... but we'll let the pictures tell the story!










We were able to introduce some of our old friends to some of our new friends too, which was very special. It makes us feel less as if we are leading separate lives now. Any tangible connection between our lives here and now and the friends we have left behind in Australia is very precious.








As the photos testify, our God is good and His work of creation is amazing. We are so privileged to be able to enjoy His goodness where-ever we are.
