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.

Hey guys,
I don’t have time to write up each day, so this is just a general update. And sorry in advance if I haven’t replied to your emails, half an hour goes really quickly on the Internet!
