Skeleton Coast Road

Seems it has been a wet year in Namibia. Here's the main highway to the Skeleton Coast. Not much warning that it is closed. In fact, when we drove up, the sign had fallen over, so there was no warning at all (except for the water). Along this road we did see someone who had pulled off the highway to get to the coast, and managed to bury themselves up to their axels in slick mud. Not a brilliant idea. There were a couple of 4x4's around and a circle of people looking puzzled about what to do. My suggestion - don't drive off the road after rain.
