Henties Bay, Namibia by the kids

GOOD MORNING\EVNING\NOON\NIGHT (one of them), my blog is ready to be read, so read away, (have you donated all your life savings to me like I told you to do in my last blog?). Now you can read.
On the 28th we made some breakfast and packed up our tents, we are going to go to Henties Baai, the drive there was about 5 hours. When we started driving I surprisingly got bored (again), I played with Emma, we didn’t play that long because it got into an argument, (Andrew: Emma started it, not me, I’m innocent). (Emma edit: no he is not, I’m innocent). (Andrew & Emma edit\argument: Andrew: I’m innocent, Emma: no, I am, Andrew: no, me, Emma me, Andrew: me!!!, Emma: ME!!! Andrew: Shut up and stop arguing Emma: (quietly) you shut up) (Mum edit: They really don’t argue that much!). When we got to Henties Baai we set up and then went out to shop a bit, we went out to the shop and then came back and went to sleep.
On the 29th we woke up and then we packed up the camp site because we are going to go to a place called cape cross seal reserve. It is the biggest cape fur seal colony in the world, it has over 210,000 during mating season, with starts in mid-October and ends after an average of 6 weeks. When we arrived there we could get out of the car and walk on these wooden path things, it was pretty impressive, there were seals everywhere. Wherever I looked I could see seals, some swimming in the sea, some running down to the sea. There were young ones and old ones, me and Emma found a spot where they were running down under us to get to the sea, the funny thing was that none ever went alone, they went always in a group. We watched that for a while and then we went to another place on the path we could see even more seals, we looked at them for a while then we went back to a restaurant near the camp. After that we went to a shipwreck that we could see from the coast, when we got there we could see it very easily, we looked at it and then when we finished we went back to the camp to sleep.
The 30th we went to the beach, we didn’t know what it would be like but we really didn’t know how fun it would be. When we got there, we had to go down a long steep dune thing, it was on a 40 degree angle (I think) and about 20 meters high (I have no clue, I’m just listening to what my dad said). When we went down I ran down it as fast as I could (well probably not as fast as I could, but close) I was down at the bottom in about 7-10 seconds (not sure how long it took). I could have gone quicker but I didn’t want to roll down the hill, I mean rolling would have been faster, but I want to remain alive. It was actually pretty fun, so I did it again, and again, Emma wasn’t doing it from the top only from about 3 meters up (amateur), we kept doing it and eventually Emma did it, they went up to the top with me and ran down. We did it for a while and then we went to the car and then we drove back home to do blog and then to sleep.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii’mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk!
On the 29th we went to the cape cross fur seal colony. It took one hour to get there. It is one of the biggest fur seals colonies in the world. Me and Andrew liked watching the seals run down into the water because it looked like they were racing. The little ones were the fastest. It smelt like dead fish. There were little ones and big ones. They had fur on them. Lots of babies. The seals are black when babies and brown when adult. Half of the world population of cape cross fur seals live where we went. Once on land the male seals will not eat for up to three months. The mother goes out for a while and returns home with a belly full of food and turns it into milk. The mother calls out to all the baby seals around but only gives milk to her baby. Sometimes the mother can identify her pup by smell or a call. A baby seal is called a pup. I liked the seals, but I didn’t like the smell. After we visited the cape cross fur seal colony, we had lunch at a restaurant. Then we went to a shipwreck. It was near the beach. All we had to do was go to the beach and we could see it. it was on its side. We played a bit in the sand and went back home for dinner.
On the 30th we changed our car because the first one had a broken tent. When we had our new car, we noticed that it only had two forks AND WE ARE A FAMILY OF FOUR. Luckily, we had forks in our bag. Then we wandered down to the beach. There was a steep slope to get down to the beach and Andrew and I were the only one’s crazy enough to do it. mum and dad took the steps. We found out that it wasn’t as steep as it looked. Me and Andrew walked up and ran back down. We came back, had lunch and did blog.
We are going to our next destination. See you there.
