I have found the perfect way to get noticed and that is to wear this T’ai chi suit that I had made in China on the Yangtze last May. This traditional suit is actually made for wearing when undertaking T’ai chi exercises but this evening it was perfect for the international themed dress evening. So plenty of Ni hao (Hello), and ‘see you are wearing your pyjamas’! But overall many expressions of delight and very comfortable to wear although I had to sport a pair of red braces underneath since when I had the suit made I was nearly 2 stone heavier!! It is made of satin and fully lined and the symbols represent ‘Hope, Love and Happiness’ in Chinese characters.
We are ploughing our way to Walvis Bay. As I write it is mid-day on Saturday 26th January and we have 3 more days at sea before arriving in Namibia. I have just had a briefing for the 4-day Safari that I am taking from 29th Jan to the Etosha National Reserve. I will write a posting before I leave but just to make you jealous I have a room with a private balcony overlooking one of the water holes!!! We also have the Photography Manager as Tour Escort so should be able to get some great photos and he is making a video as well!!
