Roads in Namibia are a lot like life.
You enjoy the view, and every little detail seems to amaze you.
You never know when the road will turn — or if it will turn at all. And when it does, the bend often comes without warning. You have no idea what is waiting on the other side, how much you’ll need to slow down, or how careful you’ll have to be.
You never know what might suddenly appear in front of you.
You drive thousands of kilometres. Sometimes exhausted, sometimes frustrated, sometimes ready to give up — but you keep going because you know you have to get somewhere.
Not necessarily where you originally planned.
The important thing is to keep your hands on the wheel. Keep your eyes open. Stay alert, even when you’re tired as hell.
Of course, you can always give up. Drive back to the rental company, take out your documents, your bags and your dirty socks… and go for a b**r.
That’s always an option.
But until then — keep your hands on the wheel.
