The story behind the image
In Namibia, we stopped enroute C14 at the Quiver Tree Picnic Spot and Viewpoint. We desperately needed some rest because the gravel road was bad. Really bad. The lanes were deep – almost too deep for our Volkswagen Polo Classic – and every now and then the gravel would hit the underside of the poor car.
At the picnic spot I shot this view of the highway as a 4×4 vehicle speeds effortlessly along the highway. Needless to say, I envied the folks sitting in that car.
In the end, we made our way slowly and safely to our lodge for the night, but we learned once more: when traveling to southern Africa – rent a robust 4×4! And if cost is an issue, look at renting a used 4×4.
