eemingly out of nowhere, against a field of low shrubs, the occasional camel thorn and rolling hills, the horizon becomes dotted with the sprawling tops of palm trees. Growing up in arid Namibia, palm trees (much like in the Sahara) mean refuge, solace and ultimately, water. A mere hop, skip and jump from the capital, just before Okahandja, a left turn takes you to Gross Barmen via the D1972.
