My journey to Namibia included a 12 hour layover in London. I decided to take this opportunity to visit my wonderful friend Emily who lives near Reading. Expecting a good chat over a cup of tea, I was somehow persuaded by Ems and her brothers to get into the inflatable sumo suit that her younger brother was given for Christmas! The trip to Namibia certainly seemed surreal as I paraded myself around their house in the suit (after having not seen her family in years - what must they think of me??)!
