The smurf thing began on that trip to Durbs...... you're right... at every petrol station you could get a smurf....

99 cent each - between adding to the smurf collection and trying to sort out that bloody rubix cube - and then on the trip home, stopping off at some place or other for a bag of marbles.......wasn't there a camel at one of the stops?

Come to think of it....  I never officially departed from Oranjemund.  I just left to start my life as a working adult in June '83.  Went back to go visit the parents (each time saying I'm going home), then my dad got transferred to Luderitz.  Never again did it feel right to use the term "going home" when I went to visit them after they had departed from Oranjemund.  Went to Alexanderbay the last time in 2006  -  still felt like I was going home once on the way from Port Nolloth to Alex Bay.
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier. Friendship is a sheltering tree.

To be clever enough to get a great deal of money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of other cannot keep it from themselves.
