Small outing for today... We are going to the (not so) nearby city of Outapi (see Wikipedia article in English here, and that in French here), on the West of the Owambo area, some 100 km West of our dear city of Ongwediva!
The welcoming entrance of the city, with a huge ad for Windhoek Beer...
The main street, damn busy on a Sunday morning...
The Open Market:
And the former South African Defense Force base from the time of the colonization of Namibia by South Africa:

Old grafitis on the stem of the tree:
One of the numerous inhabitants of the tree:
Local craftwork:
Owambo baskets:
And the traditional beads necklaces:
