Friday, April 4th, 2014 – Today we are in Walvis Bay, Namibia. It was so foggy this morning while we had breakfast on the ship that we weren’t sure there was really a city outside! Visibility was about 10 feet!
Usually the office on the ships stores our passports. Officials from each country board our ship and stamp our passports and we are not involved - when we leave the ship at the end of the cruise we get to see all our new stamps when our passports are returned.
However, there are a few exceptions. In Duban, Cape Town, and now in Namibia we had to go to the front desk of the ship and get our passports the day before arriving in port.
Then before we could get off the ship in those ports we had to meet individually, face-to-face with the immigration officials and show them our passports.
Once they confirm our identity and stamped our passports, they keet them and give us an Immigration Clearance Card which we have to show security when we get on and off the ship. All ports in India go by the same procedure. The Immigration authorities turn our passports over to the ship and they are stored in the ship's office where they are kept secure until the next port where we have to go through this process again.
By the time we were ready to leave the ship the fog was clearing and the skies were turning blue! We took the shuttle into town where we joined another couple to share a taxi to see the sights.
