We finally hit our first dirt road, and we hadn't even reached the border yet! We took a shortcut from Augrabies to Nakop border post so that we wouldn't have to backtrack all the way to Upington. It made for good practice, I'm sure, and we got to herd some sheep along the track. It was so cute watching their little black and white shanks hurry along as we chased them.
Crossing into Namibia was very painless. Too painless for Kevin who describes African border control as 'a joke.' But it's also largely to do with the fact that we were the only tourists there. What didn't impress him, though, was that it took 20 odd people to get the two of us from one country to another. A job, which he reckons, could be done by a single Swiss border official.
But that's job creation for you.
