Those odd girls

There are two of them travelling together. One of them's fifteen, and frankly, it's all very odd. The older one is, apparently the younger one's teacher – she's in Cape Town to learn some English, but I can't help thinking the teacher isn't teaching her English, as neither can speak much. We're in Swakopmund, as I mentioned, which is where Bradd and Angelina came to adopt a child. They went quadbiking, ate in a local restaurant, etc. Now, the teacher is the one who, as I mentioned here, 'really likes Angelina Jolie' Now, I've been turning the introduction night over in my head, and it still sounds really odd. Picture, if you can, going round the room, each introducing ourselves and saying what we hope to get out of the trip...
'I want to see the sun rise over the Namib Desert.
'I want to see hippos from a canoo in the Okavango Delta.'
'I'm interested in other cultures, and really want to interact with the Himba tribes.'
'I really like Angelina Jolie.'
'I want to raft down the Zambezi.'
See, one of those looks a little out of place, doesn't it? It seems a little 'OTT' to sign up for a four-week camping trip just to sit on a quadbike an actress once rode. Takes all sorts, though.

While I'm talking about her, y'know I mentioned I feel a little 'over-prepared' lugging this tiny laptop with me? This girl has a full 15.4” widescreen Toshiba with her! She was watching dvds when we went for dinner last night. Odd, odd, odd.
