Windhoek!!

Erik:
We have decided to take some time off.
We arrived in Windhoek almost 2 weeks ahead of schedule and still
want to see some things before we leave Namibia. Sooooooo, we are
taking a night train to Swakopund for a few days. Swakopmund is a
city on the coast. The coolest thing about it is that there are
dunes! And it's on the beach. Win. It should be a nice break from the
bikes.
We explored Windhoek today. It's very
cool. Small but very cosmopolitan. It has a very good mix of people.
We love Namibians, btw. Very nice and down to earth.
Steph made pasta for all of us (Steph,
Erik, Matthias & Dustin). So we ate together, drank and talked
until 11pm.
Steph:
I really like this city and had so much
fun people watching today. There's a little bit of everything here.
Business people, locals, tourists, students, everything. It makes
sense since this is the capital. It has everything a big city has to
offer (museums, art, shopping, theatre, architecture, etc) just on a
smaller scale than usual. There were people of every race and
background and everyone was happy and getting along. A little better
than the off-standish vibe we got in SA.
I got a really bad sunburn on my
shoulders. I never learn. Oi. We also ate Doner! In Africa! I've only
ever seen those in Berlin! And they were delicious. It's filled with
germans over here, btw. It's fun. We walked to the train stations to
buy our tickets for tomorrow and ended our stroll with lemon ice
cream. The best.

I've literally spent all day updating
blog entries today. We need to figure out a more efficient way of
doing this :) Hopefully this isn't too boring for everyone.
We'll try to add more photos as well.
I miss everyone at home and hope you
all know how important you are to me!
