Anyway, the worry was all in vain, and it was a pretty painless crossing. The officials at the Border were very helpful and polite and they even assisted in letting me know of some nice places to go in Namibia.
Everything was so new and unknown - I had to take a picture on the bridge in 'no-man's' land as we crossed over. I was amazed to think that the Orange River could separate two countries.
We were immediately shocked by how flat the land was, apart from some very low mountains with little or no vegetation - just a vast open piece of land - with lots of sand - and a very straight road! We knew we were heading into a desert - but so suddenly? Both Robyn and I immediately thought to ourselves, "oh no, is this the way it is going to be throughout Namibia?"
