On the way back to Windhoek, we again stopped in Okahandja after getting gas in Otjiwarongo. Karen had bought a carved elephant, but when we looked at it in Otavi, there were no tusks. The guy in the stall had removed them for travel, but had not put them in the package. He didn't argue, and in fact produced a couple better tusks to complete the deal.
At the gas station across from the wood carvers' market, a couple workers recognized the Etosha Pan mud all over the cars and offered to wash them. After negotiating a price (we paid 5USD for a complete hand wash), we had both cars well washed. We had lost our front license plate, which now was obvious once the mud was gone. It was nice to have a clean car again.
BTW, most of the tar (paved) roads in Namibia are two lane and the speed limit is 120 km/h. And there are many long straight stretches. The longest I measured was 25 km. So unless you got stuck behind a slow truck, . . .
After returning to Windhoek, we again visited the Namibia Craft Centre. Here we finished our major gift and souvenir shopping for Namibia. And had a coffee date.
