🇳🇦 2/2025 Namibia Travel
Day 120, 27.01.2025. — Well, here we go, starting Namibia! 🇳🇦
It’s raining at night, and we’re already wondering what will happen to the roads… Border crossings are never easy. 😑 But it’s nice that our Airbnb host takes us to the bus station before six. Six hours to the border in a bus from Macon company. Emmanuel jokes that this bus makes a lot of stops. Yep, last trip, it stopped every hour! 😅
I wonder what will happen with the buses in sparsely populated Namibia. 🇳🇦 Our friend says no one is born there, just like in Europe. 🤭 In Angola, they have families with a dozen kids. But those who are proud of it often forget the sight of streets where a huge number of children are cleaning shoes, begging, or sleeping outside… 🙈 Is more always better? Emmanuel also mentions that in Namibia, whites and blacks still stay separate, although there are friendly people as well. Let’s hope so! 🤞
The bus has a TV. And no cockroaches… 👀 It came from somewhere else — no prayers to listen. 💁 There’s an interesting movie with English subtitles about albinos. It turns out that one in every 20,000 people in the world is albino! In the “white world,” we don’t notice them much, but in Africa, they’re seen in every country. 👁️🗨️ The film explains that albinos, especially in South Africa, Mozambique, and Tanzania, are isolated from society or isolate…
