Finally a complete summary of my Christmas holiday. I’m sorry it took so long. A combination of finishing the new Buchter in a hurry & living on Africa time I guess!
It started off with us hitch-hiking to Windhoek. With us I mean Anna, Paddy (one of the peace-corps volunteers here in Lüderitz), Lily (another peace-corps [...]
Most of you will know by now that we - Anna & me - are on holiday. After renting a car, the hitchhiking proved to be a fruitless effort, we arrived in Windhoek at about 9 p.m. The great benefit of renting a car was that we still had a car in Windhoek until the [...]

Today we had a “thanks giving” lunch in our flat with paddy (the American peace corps volunteer) and Liz ( our co-host). I made [...]

I have just been to the printers in Windhoek - I’m actually still in Windhoek now - and we have just witnessed the new Buchter getting born. I must say that I’m quite pleased with it, although not all the colours etc. where quite right yet.
I’ll upload some pictures of the whole printing process tomorrow [...]

The new Buchter News is now almost finished. All I have to do is quickly check all the pages for unseen errors and than it’s finally done. Tomorrow I’ll travel to Windhoek to deliver the Buchter to the new printers myself. It’s going to be an exciting trip!
Exciting because of the new printers. Exciting because [...]

Finally I have the feeling we are really getting somewhere with the Buchter. We found a new printer in Windhoek - who prints the national newspaper “The Namibian” - and I am very busy changing the whole look of the Buchter.
I honestly believe that finally we are making a newspaper which makes me feel proud [...]
This is just a short message from me, I’ll write more later on this week (got to limit the internet usage for now). I just wanted to say I’ve added some picture’s of Lüderitz, our apartment & Windhoek (the capitol).
That’s it for now!

So I arrived, I’m i Windhoek now in the backpackers hostel. It’s a really nice place, very peaceful nice people and lovely food. That goes for the backpackers and for Windhoek aswell. Ofcourse there are a few things I need to get used to. First is the air, it’s so dry & dusty it feels [...]

OK, getting close now! This is my last day in Bloemendaal! My last day in Netherland as well! Tomorrow morning I’ll fly to London and then Friday to Windhoek. Yes it’s exciting, but it’s sad to leave this place - although everybody keeps telling me it’ll still be the same next year (and they’re probably [...]

I’ve only one week left here in Holland, before I’ll leave to Windhoek. Right now I’m getting all the last things together: malaria pills, first aid kit, suitable clothes etc. And finally I start to realize I’m actually leaving for a year!
Only a week, I’ll fly to London next Thursday together with Myrte and we’ll [...]
