Editorial

Welcome to our last edition of 2009! The last three months have flown by and we can’t believe it’s Christmas already. We both feel really at home here, due to everyone being so welcoming, and it definitely doesn’t feel like we deserve a holiday yet! From the 4th of December we will be travelling around Namibia, Zambia and South Africa until we return early January to prepare the next edition of the Buchter.
Our editor’s pictures this month are at the second lagoon where the Speed Challenge was held. It was a very windy day as you can tell from Hannah’s hair, but we had great fun cheering on the competitors and being blown over. Thanks to Monica and Manfred for giving us a lift there and back!
Goodbye to Paddy and Jacob who are leaving Luderitz for good, after living here as volunteers for the last two years. Thanks for showing us the sights and introducing us to people. Happy travelling Jacob and happy wedding Paddy! Good luck, we’ll miss you.
We have to say a special thank you to Crispin Clay for proof reading our articles for the last two months while Liz Swoboda has been away. Much appreciated Crispin!
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas, an excellent New Years Eve and a prosperous 2010. See you next year!
