On the road in Namibia

We headed north out of Windhoek, on our way to Etosha. Warthogs! Boy did Jan get the gullible people on our bus with a story of warthogs and their tight skin necessitating tails to be raised while they run so that they can see. Otherwise their skin is so tight that it pulls their eyes shut. While Jan is a master of bullshit delivery, it was still amazing how many people fell for this story.
The traditional dress of one of the Namibian tribes is a pseudo Victorian with a hat that looks like cow horns.
Unlike the Victorians though, they are smart enough to use light cloth in the tropical heat.
