The sleepy town of Windhoek

Hello everyone!

We have arrived in the sleepy, slow, mellow town of Windhoek. We have had several tough, long days on our bikes and therefore need and treasure our two days off here ... where there is not much more to do than relax, shop, go to the movies and do nothing ... obviously eat and drink in huge amounts ... ;-)

Windhoek is by far the mellowest (if that is a word?) capital city on our whole route. As they say here: If there are two cars in front of yours at the traffic light ... it is rush hour! The school holidays started yesterday, so we do have endless little brats running around the shopping mall and energising the internet cafe with us.

Thank God we have a bit of a cold front here too ... although obviously nothing like Cape Town and the West Coast at the moment ... the temperatures are in the low twenties, but expected to chill way more at night as we travel south over the next two weeks ...

... Now (exactly - 13h30), in two weeks, we should be at the Waterfront. Apparently the official welcome/arrival is at 14h00 ... but i recon we should be in about 13h00/30 on Saturday morning.
