Wow, I really enjoyed the Namib Desert! Was sad to leave there, but elated that a lovely Scottish couple was so incredibly kind to give me a lift back to Windhoek. It saved me from another super expensive private transfer… Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I know I say this everywhere I go… but it really was not enough time. I would have loved to go further north and further south to see more of the country and also just spend more time with some of the local people. I was for example shocked to hear that the unemployment rate is at 50% here and would have liked to understand more about why that is and how people cope.
But that’ll have to be next time, and I really hope there will be a next time… and if so I would rent a car – the roads are good and easy to navigate it seems, so if anyone fancies a road trip in Namibia in the next couple of years… let me know!?!
Now on to Johannesburg for a quick stopover before heading back to Uganda where I will spend the next six weeks.
