Road Trip pt 2: Lubango to Namibe
Continuing our road trip toward the rock art we drove from Lubango to Namibe September 8th. The landscape on this drive would change even more, going from the mountains into the desert.
We stopped at another mountain overlook called Serra da Leba.
I looked across the vast mountain ranges and down the cliffs 3300 feet below and saw two tiny white worm-looking things snaking up the road on the side of a cliff. I realized that it was a double gas tanker truck attempting to wind itself around a 15 degree curve. Honking echoed through the mountains as the trucks were attempting to warn oncoming traffic of their presence, since they had to take up the entire road on each of the 19 curves. Robert must have seen my pale face and said, “Doesn’t that look like fun?!”
Robert has driven that road before and also grew up navigating the mountains of Colorado. This thought helped...a little. So we piled into the vehicle and continued to Namibe--safely.
