We went for a bit of walk to check up on a restaurant for dinner. Closed for the holiday unfortunately. Being Easter Sunday the city was very quiet and we were photographing a building when a couple of guys went past and said put those cameras away before someone steals them. Very disconcerting. It's such a shame that Namibia has begun to emulate SA in terms of tourist crime. Not as bad; no car jackings; but tourists are targeted; handbags & cameras mainly.
Todays gift was finding a really amazing band playing at an outdoor café.
So we stopped for a drink to enjoy the music. The group, dad & 2 sons, were superb. I could have stayed much longer and would have liked a wine but we had to collect the rental car at 3pm so didn’t dare have alcohol.
Took over an hour & a half to sort out the truck; we had to check absolutely everything worked (even the windscreen squirter) plus the paperwork so now we are the temporary owners of a diesel 4x4 ute.
As part of the instructions we were told if anything happens (accident, unauthorised road block etc) to call the Police. So I asked what the number was in Namibia. It turns out there is no national number like 111; every town has its own Police phone number. Okaaay.
