| No doubt: It is
impossible to figure exactly what to bring. I have no doubt we
will be able to obtain a lot of stuff while we are in Namibia.
Never the less; it would be convenient to bring it along from
the start, avoiding to be forced to drive into town. On the
other hand; I would hate to be caring stuff around or even loos
it in a airport, which I eventually never had any use for in the
first place! This is in
extreme contrast with the usual 2-3 kilos of luggage I normally
bring for a month in a warm country. But this time we will be
self containing, and camping and cooking gear is essential.
Further more; the usual daily washing of cloths is not possible
in the dessert. That causes for some spare T-shirts!
The lists below contains what I
decided to bring from home. First stop in Namibia (besides from
a ATM) should be cooking gas and
alike, and a food store to get fresh fruit, dried and canned
food and alike. The stuff marked with red
was not necessarily after all. |
