The cafe in the park is a little colonial outpost in Namibia where white aproned waitresses will serve you tea with lemon in the bright afternoon sunshine. Its hard to get stressed or grumpy when the temperature is almost thirty in the shade and the quiet of the park is all around.
I am one hour late after the airport pick up failed to arrived (again) and I had to call them to come and get me. Despite being almost exactly an hour late here at the meeting point the people I am supposed to meet here are still the customary 15 minutes late. I called them from the airport to say that I would be 1 hour late and have come straight here with all my bags instead of going to the hotel but they still arrive the extra fifteen minutes late to keep the tradition going. Amazing – why do I bother !
