'Buckled in the Heat' Namibia

It may sound daft, but I was as fascinated by the unending miles of open dust road as I was with the incredible volcanic desert landscape.

I’ve never been anywhere else in the world (yet) where I can drive for hundreds of kilometres on dust roads without seeing a car for hours. In one way it was a little freaky, for if you break down it could well be a LONG wait in 45º of sweltering heat before anyone might come by and help you, but equally, that same sense of isolation and vulnerability is what made the journey so adventurous and awesome.
