RAIN, MALLS AND STEKINEKOR

Rain outside my window

My day started extremely slow. I was still exhausted after the Namibia trip. So, naturally I camped in my bedroom for what I thought would be the entire day. Suddenly I heard what seemed like heavy rain. I peeped through my window, quickly grabbed my phone and snapped a few photos to capture the moment.

I later had to quickly rush to in Irene villages Mall. Mr came back after work with a huge bunch of roses (he's a keeper) and we decided to go tire our bodies at Brooklyn Mall after dinner. It seems that everyone was actually at Brooklyn mall for dinner. People were waiting, sitting in queues, wine in hand, courtesy of the restaurant.

roses that were given

so many people at Brooklyn Mall

Wakaberry sounded like a great idea for dessert.

Exclusive Books shopping was light

 From there it was Exclusive Books and finally the Movie which kept us until Saturday...LOL. Just after 12 midnight.

A movie was unexpected content

We watched The Wolf of Wall Street. Not what I expected at all and an over use of the *F*word. Today was an eventful day. I had to add more photos.  

GOODBYE WALVIS BAY

Walvis Bay Airport

The Walvis Bay Airport is being constructed. For now, this barn like structure was all we had. It didnt look different to a barn even inside. That's where I spent a few hours sipping on my can of drink and photographing with my phone. I was very grateful to be going home to my hubby and kids. Felt like a lifetime away from them.
Today I said my goodbyes to Walvis Bay. And I really liked it. I will always remember Walvis Bay for its sleepy character, no 2 cars at a time dusk to dawn. Neat and peaceful like a retirement village.

MY OFFICE TODAY

Protea Hotel, Pelican Bay, Walvis Bay, Namibia

I had a peaceful time working from the hotel coffee shop. The view is that of a bay outside. Lots of natural sunshine. I loved it for sure. I can do with a home office like that by the SA ocean somewhere. A girl has a right to dream right?

Today I worked from a coffee shop at the Protea Hotel, Pelican Bay, Walvis Bay, Namibia. I can get a lot done in the coffee shop. I love informal settings.

COCKTAIL PARTY

cocktail party

My small phone camera can be terrible. Not to be blamed though, this is at night with disco lights. The hosting organisation threw us a cocktail party. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere. I even had a serving of dessert. Which I had not touched my whole time in Namibia.

Today I was invited to a cocktail party.

PROTEA HOTEL WALVIS BAY

the Protea Hotel Walvis Bay

I am staying at the Protea Hotel Pelican Bay but for the past two days my meetings were at the Protea Hotel Walvis Bay. I am always fascinated by the hotel interiors. The exteriors in these hotels are nothing special. But for the past two days I have been snapping little details of the interiors. I then took the picture of part of the front above. The main entrance part doesn't look as good.

Today was spent at the Protea Hotel Walvis Bay.

AMAROSTILE AND NAIL OBSESSION

Amarostile and nail obsession

I had it all planned earlier today. I was to share small details of the hotel where we had today's meeting. As the day progresses, my sister who lives in East London sends me image numbered one above. I love bread in general but the roasted one is my weakness. We passionately refer to it as amarostile. Nothing as tasty. More like a grilled Portuguese roll with a harder crust.

I made a comment about her nails... she then sent me photo number two. Gorgeous nails. She mentioned something about the nail bar/salon and some gel and them not chipping. My sister is fancy like that.

I also photographed my own backhand number three and sent to her. Mine has no gel thingies, just my own DIY. I painted my nails in the hotel when I arrived in Namibia and touched them up yesterday.

Today me and my sister exchanged photos of our nails as they look currently.

WATERLESS HOTEL DAY

Bottled water I use for absolute necessities

Still in Namibia. What a miserable day. There is no water in the hotel. The staff (which I think deserve some disciplining) lied and said the whole of Walvis Bay has no water. Not true. They later mentioned water coming back at 13h00... didn't happen. Its such a painful experience. Worse, we have some meetings today. I am so lucky that I woke up and had a bath so early in the morning. Most of the people in this hotel weren't so lucky. Being a Saturday and all.

The whole day without water is what is irritating me currently.
