what a beautiful day in Swakop
thank you very much
you're welcome sir
well a couple of days of staying in a very nice hotel in Swakopmund
living in the lap of luxury enjoying all the modern amenities like electricity
and good breakfast
so today I'm going to go out and about and explorer
Swakopmund which is one of the few coastal towns in Namibia
there's Swakopmund Walvis Bay Luderitz Henties Bay (if you can call Henties Bay a town)
really a fishing village and that's it Swakopmund is one of the oldest towns in Namibia
certainly the oldest along the coast it has lots of old style architecture
and is really a town that sort of stuck in the 1900s wedged between the
atlantic sea on one side and the Namib Desert on the other quite an amazing place
people area super friendly, weather is usually nice Swakopmund is very unusual
in that it has pretty much zero rain and the roads around Swakopmund like the
skeleton coach road are made of salt because they get so little rain they can do that
quite amazing but but I'll take you out and about and show you round Swakopmund
see what you think it's not a big exciting town small enough to
enjoy got the beach although the Atlantic water quite cool not exactly your
tropical swimming water it looks pretty and what else well I'll take you around
we'll see what we can find
it's a bagel
you're carving the marula fruits
a good Namibia you can take
have you caught anything?
only one
well good fishing
fishermen, like me, not the biggest talkers
still carving away nicely
yes
how much are they?
it's different price
ah well I'm very very poor so I've got to let me see
I've got three dollars I've got
no 20
10, 12 13 14 15 16 17, I didn't come out to buy anything

cheers
take 2
that's great rock shandy
lovely refreshing drink
here you are, be careful with the plate its's a bit hot
ok thank you,
enjoy your meal
thank you very much
you're welcome
one of the many good things about Swakopmund apart from it being a nice
stuck in time village, being a bit cooler by the coast, being a small family sized town
is the food you can get here excellent seafood being on the coast of course
but I'm a bit of a steak man so I've gone for steak
not just any steak today I'll move it round so you can get a better view
this is a kudu steak or a game steak
the game meat in Namibia is beautiful very healthy because
game meat is very low in fat kudo steak is one of my favorite
look at this
mmmmm look at that
that is how you have a steak
so tender I don't know why they gave me a sharp knife
oh wow that is beautiful
mmm cooked perfectly no sauce natural juices healthy meat
for red meat
delicious melt in the mouth oh and got my vegetables as well
you know because I want to stay healthy
