We’ve had two wonderfully relaxing rest days in Windhoek. What a beautiful modern, clean & green city in an absolutely stunning setting surrounded by rolling hills and blessed with a benign climate!
Highlights on my end:
- Chilling for hours at the Craft Café inside the Craft Center—great food, great service, fast Internet, nice ambience
Inside the Windhoek Craft Center at the Craft Café - Strolling through the streets of Windhoek
Independence Avenue with German style houses - Joining a big group of riders for Joe’s Beerhouse, a famous restaurant that looks like a fusion of a Bavarian beerhouse and an Austrian après-ski hut, with its German food menu complemented by African game. Thanks Mike for organizing!
Great dinner organized by Mike at Joe’s Beerhouse in Windhoek - Doing some sightseeing, such as the historic train station . . .
Windhoek train station and historic locomotive - . . . or the Christuskirche that reminds of a gingerbread house.
Christuskirche in Windhoek - Being surprised by all the German street signs all over Windhoek, as well as marvelling at all the posh (though mostly gated) villas
Lots of German street names and gated villas in Windhoek - Treating myself to a luxurious though affordable pedicure at the Hilton spa, and enjoying the beautiful Hilton rooftop with stunning views all over Windhoek while waiting for my appointment
