Cape Town to Namibia Day 6

I LOVE Swakopmund!! LOVE IT!! I bought a couple small things, wandered along the beach, ate the best seafood I think I've ever had, enjoyed a couple glasses of great wine.... I love it here. No wonder Angelina Jolie and Brad Pit came here to give birth to one of their many children! What a beautiful town. It doesn't seem very big, maybe 40,000 people tops. I even had locals take MY picture, lol!!

I checked out a market and I'm apparently a sucker for a sob story of starving families and so on. I bought a couple of cheap nick nacks and ended up giving away a small bottle of bug spay and purell, I have lots and they seemed to need it more than me.

I walked down the pier to a little restaurant where I tried some amazing seafood and 3 glasses of wine. After dinner I gave the waitress $1 and asked her to give the cook $1 as well. Here that is a lot of money and when I went to the till to pay my R199 tab (equals approx $30 + I left a $3 tip on top of it all) they were all very happy to come and shake my hand and say good bye and invite me back. It just reminds me of the different economy's and ways of life that I am seeing here. So for my $35 I got an appy of 4 jalapano poppers that were the hottest I've ever eaten! They were pickled I think and stuffed with cream cheese and pecans, and a skewer of various fish and shrimp with fries and 3 glasses of wine. CHEAP!!

While I ate my lunch I watched seals playing along the shore line and I just chilled and enjoyed being away from the truck and all my new friends. Sometimes I just need a minute along to really absorb that fact that I'm in AFRICA! That's right! Half way around the globe and loving EVERY MINUTE!! I think this is the beginning of a long list of travels!
