Swakopmund Vacation Guide

Swakopmund is often accused of being more German than Germany. I wouldn't know, since I've never been to Germany, but the town is certainly full to the brim with colonial architecture. The coastal town faces the Atlantic Ocean, and cold winds make Swakopmund surprisingly cool compared to the rest of Namibia. For this reason, it is known as the "summer capital" of Namibia.

Swakopmund is a popular tourist destination for South Africans, and is abound with adrenaline activities and historical sites.

It's also interesting to note that Swakop, meaning 'excrement hole' in the Nama language teamed with the German 'mund', means 'estuary of the excrement hole'.

I had hoped the two nights in the hostel in Swakopmund would be a way to make up for some lost sleep. As good as I generally slept while camping, the late nights and early mornings did start to get to me. So I had really hoped a night in a proper bed would do me some good, like it had done in Windh…

I was not without some hesitation to take off with two men I just met and go who knows where for who knows how long.  I do have to thank WV/Ben for encouraging me to do this.  He said it would be a trip of a lifetime and he was right.  We both hung out at Mark’s parents’ hou…
