There was a lot of work on the side of the road today and ladies and gentlemen waving red flags as I approached, each with their own level of interest and enthusiasm. It seems they are planning a second carriageway. They were putting in culverts, I believe. Now 'culvert' was a word only used by road engineers until the 'troubles' in Northern Ireland gave it more prominence. Culverts are drains under a road for small rivers and streams. They became a popular location for the IRA to place bombs, to blow up vehicles, as the bomb could be hidden and the force of the bomb would be directed upward, maximising impact. This was an unwelcome thought intruding my mind today, as I rode along peaceful Namibia.
