The road became paved after 700km struggling. Then I reached to a little village, Aus.

こんな風景を走り続けてナミビア南部、Ausで約700kmぶりに幹線に出た。久々に見る舗装路。これだけ久々だと舗装路のありがたさが良くわかる。何てスムーズに進むんだろうか。



I haven't talked to anyone for last few days. I have to stretch my tongue to be able to keep my mental healthy. I went to a camp ground to find someone to talk with. There was no one unfortunately.
A woman, the owner I found lately, was grumpy some how. Seemed I have to be quiet for next few days as well.

そいえばここ数日、真面に人と会話していない。Ausのキャンプ場で、話し相手でも探そうかと思っていたけれど、誰もいない。人気が無いのか。
オーナーと思われる白人女性は全く無愛想だし、まだしばらく言葉を発しない日々が続きそうだ。



This grumpy mama had a little shop at just cross the street. It was the only shop in Aus.
The everything in this shop was so expensive. For example, a 330ml coca cola was about $1. 500ml of milk was $1.5. One onion was $0.4. Those I needed were awfully expensive.

この無愛想なおばちゃんの経営する売店はキャンプ場の通り挟んで向かいで、Ausで唯一の売店。この売店、やたらと品物が高い。普通のスーパーで買う倍近い。コーラ缶が約100円、牛乳500ml 150円、玉ねぎ一個40円、全く狂っている。




I was suppose to be willing to spend money here after working so hard, but since those reason; grumpy mama and highly priced supplies, I kept my money in my pocket.

久々の休息でコーラのお次は肉にビールにと贅沢をしたかった。ただ、この値段、ましては全く愛想の無いおばちゃん。あまりに金を落とせる要素が無さ過ぎる。ここは我慢。



However, I took a day off in this camp. I was exhausted so definitely needed to have some rest. The camping fee was surprisingly reasonable; it was about $7 per night.
I'm almost South Africa! Only 300km to the border.

それでも疲れたので、ここで1日オフ日を取った。キャンプ場代は約700円と良心的ではある。ここを出たら300kmで南アフリカ国境だ。
