Our residence permit for Namibia has expired<\/strong>.<\/span> We look back somewhat wistfully on the wonderful and eventful 4 1\/2 months in Namibia. But don’t get sentimental now – look ahead!<\/p>\n

On August 12, we travel to Namaqua Land in South Africa<\/strong>. One of our major destinations on our trip is the famous flower blossom in the otherwise bone-dry Namaqua Land – the land<\/strong><\/span> where the “Nama” tribe settles.<\/p>\n

However, the information from the information office in Springbok is very sobering: “very little winter rain this year and the rain came too late”. The lady at reception gives us little hope. “We should try the road to Port Nolloth ….” There are some flowers to be found. So we drive to Port Nolloth.<\/p>\n

Port Nolloth<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The drive over the Annenous Pass to Port Nolloth is tranquil. We immediately realize that it must have rained, because the landscape is green. After months of dry landscape in Namibia, it was a feast for our eyes. Some flowers are blooming on the roadside, but it is not the expected abundance that we have seen in pictures on the internet.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
