Windhoek

Windhoek has had a turbulent history. Apartheid was sort off also introduced here. Black people had to live in certain areas and were moved with force several times throughout history. Black people are still very poor and live in townships outside the city. It is here where some guy threatened to kill me - that is a first timer for me. The city it self is not to bad. The commercial area has taking over. Shops and malls litter the place. The colonial buildings are quite nice and look similar to the north coast of Germany.
We gave the car back and tried to settle the bill among each other and sort of succeeded - but alcohol was necessary. After a short stroll around the city we retreated to the hostel and joined each other for our last night together. The next day C&C flew back to Switzerland. I had a really nice time with you guys. I experienced more than I usually experience in a time frame of two months in one month. Thank you.
Later on I spent a whole week in the card board box and got drunk with the Jaques Kratz (Namibian) and chilled in the pool. Needed a break. I decided to skip the south of Namibia and the west of South Africa due to a lack of public transport and interest. Cape Town was next.
