Sunday. Time to hang out and do nothing. Stayed in bed with Malene until 12 and had a very slow start on the day. Agreed that it was good to have a day off from our vacation. If that is possible. So since we not really doing anything today it might be a good idea to write a few lines about the place we are in.
Swakopmund is not that far from 100% Germany. Yesterday we had a late lunch at a place where the menu was in German, and translated to English for the poor tourists. We could chose from a lot of different items on the menu incl. Eisbein, Jausenplatte and Schnitzel. And they served icecold German beer. And that was just one of many similar places in town. Walking around you noted streets like "Brückenstrasse" and the list just continues. The most memorable was a place where you could buy all sorts of German memorabilia. I'm sure they also kept a copy of "Mein kampf" somewhere in that shop. Did I forget to mention that the supermarkets had a really wide selection of Wurst.
Apart from that the town was more or less abandonded. Or so it felt. Wide streets, relatively few cars and even fewer people. Of course it was sunday but it didn't feel like a place where some 50.000 people lived.
The highlights of our day off included super breakfast at the "Garden Cafe", a walk on the pier enjoying the ocean, a trip to the local cinema to see "Toy Story 3" - and beer and pizza to finish the day. Excellent. And right back to the A-house for a good nights sleep in the real bed.
