Namibia: Salt and Stones


Salt
 

Salt road - Yes, it is actually paved with salt !
 
Salt pan


  
Salt stand:  these blocks of salt were sold at unmanned roadside stands, on the honour system.

I bought a $10N block of salt (about $1.50 CDN).  You can always use some extra salt.

Stones

Namibia is known for its gemstones (especially diamonds).  On a hike, our guide Ronny bent down and picked up some garnet stones for Judy.  We would have mistaken them for mouse droppings !

Max and Judy bought some beautiful gemstones from local miners.
