Day 31 - Okahandja to Lake Oanob, Rehoboth via Heroes' Acre (23/10)

Windy overnight and some rain but the clouds cleared and warmed up. Back on the B1 "motorway" through Windhoek, we stopped at Heroes' Acre, inaugurated in 2002 to mark Namibia's 10 years of independence

and consisting of a parade ground, 30m tall white obelisk on the hill,

 

and, up steps informally guarded by baboons, an 8m statue of the Unknown Soldier.  It was deserted apart from us and we wondered whether it isn't a bit of a (US$10m apparently) white elephant. 

Now in a site near to Lake Oanob -  we chose "Palm Beach"(!) with lovely view over the lake.
