27 April 2016 - Riemvasmaak to Keetmanshoop
 |
| On the road between Riemvasmaak and Lutzputs
Mostly the scenery was not spectacular but there was the occasional beautiful spots. The roads were still gravel (i chose these specifically), today more loose, with rocky spots. So i left the tyres at 2.2 and drove in 4x4. Nice easy trip at max speed of 80 -100 km/h.
519 kms. We always drive a little bit more but i stop this recorder after reaching our destination. The ave speed gets influenced by stops as well.
We crossed the border (Ariamsvlei side). 12 minutes RSA side and probably 30 minutes Namibia side. We did not have to show:
Little detail to checks of what you take in. Total cost R242.00 on Namibian side.
The landscape was mostly bland, but some very nice hills "100 km" before Keetmanshoop. Good tar road without shoulders, mostly 120 km/h, allowed. One speed trap. I drive on speed control...it's so nice.

| Big blue skies, and big green sign posts. The Namibian 'picnic stops' are often bland, but impeccably clean.
Keetmanshoop's 'car guards' are as as wine-soaked as those in Knysna, but more irritating and persistent. Poverty seems common.
Tomorrow we have a long trip, driving from Keetmanshoop to Swakopmund, 700-plus kms. Keetmanshoop - Mariental, Maltahohe, Bulspoort, Solitaire, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund.
PS...we saw diesel for R10.07 today and we paid R11.23 in George. I'll post more on this, later.
Ps...I wonder who Keetman was? And what he hoped for.
