An old man in Swakopmund, Namibia told us about a scenic route to get to Ai-Ais. When people say ‘scenic’ you can bet the route is also going to be challenging. You will find the beauty but you will also earn it. . We left Luderitz on really good tarmac, took a right at Aus. Drove to Rosh Pinah, a mining town where all houses look the same. A couple clicks after Rosh Pinah, we took a left and consequently kissed the tarmac bye bye. It’s also where we last saw cars regularly. . The route took us into valleys and hills browned by dust and time. The grass was brown too. One car passes us and we meet another. We take a left through a gate that warns us of potential explosive use as they are making the road. We stop to evaluate our life choices then put Luanda to drive. The road has been blasted through high hills and twists following the Orange river. I look left, and see South Africa. The Orange river is the border. Sometimes the road passes far enough from the river, a comfortable distance. Sometimes, there’s nothing between us and the river. . As the golden sun sets over the brown landscape, a car passes us. Hope. We don’t want to drive in the dark but a sunset this beautiful is worth risking it all for. . #UnscramblingAfrica #Namibia (at Namibia) -- source link
