While we were
in Namibia we
spent a few days exploring the coastal resort town of
Swakopmund,
otherwise known as “where Angelina Jolie gave birth to
Shiloh.” The city
has retained a lot of its German heritage, most notably in the
architecture and the pubs- every third bar is called a Brewhaus
and we were intrigued (mystified? Disturbed?) by the oh-so-common
presence of oryx schnitzel on many a menu. It was also in
Swakopmund where were introduced to Jaggiebombs, Jaegermeister
and Red Bull and noticed that its perfectly acceptable to wear
safari gear out to the local pub. There was also a disturbing
trend of men wearing extremely short shorts when they were out on
the town but that's another story”¦We are also tickled pink to
discover this store in the heart of Swako, called simply Leder
Chic. We didn't have a chance to pop in as our trip coincided
with a bank holiday so everything was closed, but we can only
imagine”¦
