Well, I've been in Walvis Bay for over a week now waiting for my ship to come in... I'm not sure how common this is, but the ship containing my cruiser has been delayed 4 different times. It was supposed to be here when I arrived on July 24. Then they told me July 27, followed by the 31st and now say August 2nd... Unfortunately because NTM doesn't own the ship, nor does the clearing agent, neither of them are taking responsibility. They've both said that weather or crowded ports are to blame...
So, just an FYI, when you ship your vehicle roro or container, be aware that you could be waiting around for a while without wheels. Given the average price of a B&B here is about $N500 per night it can start costing you money you didn't intend to spend. Plus, this town doesn't have much to do. Upside is food and drinks are cheap and pretty good too. There is a 4x4 store to remind you how much you wish you had yours and ample examples of well set up cruisers and land rovers to drool over.
I should know more about my vehicle in a day or so. Also, clearing the vehicle on a carnet has been easy so far. Will post more about the condition of the vehicle when I see it.
