(who had
apparently decided to stay in their rooms all afternoon), and felt sorry for
them -- for even though the wind had been strong, they all missed out on a
gorgeous day by staying in their hotel rooms. That night, I finished my
postcards, and gave them to the receptionist to mail for me.

Jan. 2: Omaruru / Otjiwarongo / Outjo
Before leaving Walvis Bay, I stopped at a petrol station in the morning
to make a few phone calls up to Etosha National Park, where I'd be heading
the following day. A few days earlier in Luderitz, I had called ahead to
make a reservation for myself for January 4th (in Okaukuejo) and January 5th
(in Namutoni), but I now wanted to move both of these reservations up a day
(to January 3rd and January 4th). I got ahold of Namutoni first, and was
able to change my January 5th reservation there to January 4th with no
problem, but when I tried to reach Okaukuejo, no one answered. Getting back
in the car, I drove onto Swakopmund, where I tried calling Okaukuejo once
again. This time they answered, but said their computers were now down and
suggested I just call Namutoni, as Namutoni could also take care of
Okaukuejo's reservations. So, I called Namutoni again -- but by this time,
THEIR computers were down as well, and was told to try back again in 30
minutes. In the town of Usakos, I tried Namutoni once more, and finally was
able to change my Okaukuejo reservation from January 4th to January 3rd.
Driving north, I came to the town of Omaruru, and stopped to get out and
walk around. Though there's nothing "special" about the place, Omaruru is
quite pleasant, and the town has a nice feel to it. People here are
friendly (not always the case in other parts of the country), and both the
main and side streets are fun to walk through. Parking the Honda on a small
residential street, ...

Thank you for writing this but I'm a teacher needing fairly detailed contemporary and historical food (and other) facts about Tristan D - and St Helena. And there just isn't time to wade through all these pages to find them. By the time you read this it will probably be too late for me. I wanted to write a short play for my group before Wednesday. I have tried your search window several times without success.
I just thought it might be helpful for you to know how i am finding your system.
Thank you
