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”¦
