SOUTHERN EXPOSURE

From Windhoak in the north to the Namid Rand in the far south, Michael Raffael and I embark on an 800 Km road trip (in a rented Hummer with no sat nav.), to explore the vast empty roads of Namibia, with the occasional gourmet food and wild life stops, it quickly becomes a journey of terrible puns - '...alas poor Oryx, I new him well!'
