#22 LD & Painfully Seeing The Light

How did 18 days of LD go? Where did I end up staying?
Why did I drive around Namibia afterwards?
And what did I come to realise during this time?
All those questions answered and more in the last episode in this first series!
This is the story of a year long LD stay in Namibia..... with you in the passenger seat!

I hope you all enjoy the last episode in this first introduction series! Please let me know what you have thought of it so far!? And I especially hope Martin enjoys my couple of lines of very in tune and 'better than Willie' singing which I left in just for him! 😂🤣

[@monnawapye1995]

Enjoyed every episode. A unique experience, probably once in a lifetime due to the circumstances and you brought it to life

[@roamingyak]

@@monnawapye1995 Oh, thanks very much mate! I'm very glad your enjoying them, and special super thanks for always leaving a nice comment! 😃😃🤗

[@MogsAndDogs]

I will never forget your toilet pro tip. Beautiful episode, thanks for sharing.

[@roamingyak]

Glad it was helpful! 🕷️🕸️ 🤣 About 20% of the time, on the 2nd or 3rd flush sometimes, a huge spider crawls out a bit wet and wanders off, truly spooky!

[@mart9999999999999999]

lovely shot of the river near groendrom , question mark. loving the series , thanks so much

[@roamingyak]

Your more than welcome mate, pleasure, as they say in Namibia 😀 That shot is south of green drum a bit 👍

[@CasperLabuschagne]

You certainly had a far greater adventure in 2020 than I did. Some stunning scenery and all to yourself.

[@roamingyak]

Thanks mate... glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy Big D! Well thanks for the update on your past travels! Makes me wish to get back for another outing in Namibia! Been there four times and loved it every time…but you have experienced it so in depth and in such a unique time that cannot be duplicated…Baie Dankie ! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱🙏

[@roamingyak]

I'm sure Namibia would love to have you visit her again Stuart! Who knows, you might even run into a cool green Landy when your there! 😃😃⁉️❓

[@stuartrollings602]

@@roamingyak are you still there?

[@roamingyak]

@@stuartrollings602 I think so, let me check! 😀

[@jepc001]

Stunning Darrin, great episode... the wife had a heart attack when said 'stopped filming'....then relieved when was just a blip...

[@user-cu6xp7ie7v]

lol Me too! "Oh no, this is the last episode!"

[@andreburger8009]

Awesome Darrin. Enjoyed all the videos in this series. Great photos by the way, not rock dominated. 😁 Man how I miss travelling like this.

[@roamingyak]

A big thanks mate! I'm glad it came across well, they were mostly just phone snaps so wasn't sure if I should use them... The quality of footage takes a big jump up from here!

[@user-cu6xp7ie7v]

Wonderful to watch as usual... what a pleasure, the time flew by and it makes me question what I have done with my own time in life... Cool one!! 😃😃😃

[@roamingyak]

Glad you enjoyed it, and for the regular comments, thanks!

[@martinqualters608]

Sorry I missed this one mate, I didn't get a notification on this one and it did not appear on my feed ! Yours is the only channel I have notifications turned on, not sure what's going on with youtube.......on another note, I'm so glad you got back into recording you journey......Great episode .

[@roamingyak]

Sorry to hear that mate, something seems fishy doesn't it... But glad you enjoyed the episode as usual!!

[@henrygreen19]

Great video as usual. Next is watching your Sossusvlei video - looking forward to it as it is my no. 1 favorite in Namibia. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Best for now.

[@roamingyak]

Awesome! Thank you Henry! (The Sossusvlei video is just raw footage of driving )

[@phoenixsessions]

fantastic all round

[@roamingyak]

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😃

My wife and I roamed 3800 km around Namibia in a Jimny August last year. Loved the place. Never saw a fellow Kiwi the whole time. Seeing you get a tyre replaced. We rolled into Luderitz with nail embedded in one. They fixed it for $NZ 25 in two hours. Thinking that was too cheap I went down to the supermarket and got them some beers. Which went down well.

[@roamingyak]

Hi mate, thanks for stopping by and watching... It is quite hard not to love the beauty of the place all round. The tyre fix wasn't cheap by local standards by the sounds, but glad you helped give the perception that we are a bunch of drunkards 😀🤣🤣 People are generally on very low pay so appreciate any thoughtful gifts. Hopefully see you on the road the next tome you visit 😀

[@InterestingFingz]

@@roamingyakNamibia is a hard sell tourist destination here in N.Z. Unfair I know. But most people are soft. Want ‘comfort zone’ ‘instagram photo op’ destinations. When I get pushback. Worried looks when I tell people I’m off to Namibia, Iran, Bolivia etc. I reverse perceptions. Ask them to tell me what they believe someone from those countries thinks about Christchurch? Major earthquake & mosque shootings must spring to mind. Your videos do a lot to address the misconceptions about Namibia. Message to anyone thinking about visiting Namibia and worried about safety. Your biggest threat is your own stupidity, lack of attention or skills on the road. Cheers. Paul

@@InterestingFingz The only time I have been robbed (in visiting over 110+ countries) was in NZ. The only time I've had my vehicle stolen was in NZ. Enough said!

[@phoenixsessions]

well done

[@roamingyak]

Thanks mate!
