Namtib Desert Lodge

ROAD TRIPPING A ribbon of road stretched out front, dust behind. Nothing else. Silence and solitude. Or: tunes blare from the radio, wind rushes through the window, deafening ears. Friendly faces by the side of the road, selling their wares in woven baskets. Elsewhere desolate stands packed with dusty rocks, rusted can for payments. Busy towns, sleepy towns, dusty stop-overs, farm stalls, lodges, hotels, campsites. Sunsets and look-out points. Useless signposts and pointless markers. Byways and long ways. Snacks, drinks, coffee breaks on the side of the road. Chance encounters, new friends, and engaging stories. Destination reached, unpack, rest. Then do it all again.
