I ❤ your video, I ❤ Namibia
🙌🙌
Beautiful and thank for your video😂
@@giorgiocamba1684 thank you for watching 😘
Yeah it look like Germany only those palms in Germany they don’t have palms trees but it real gorgeous and clean ❤it look like empty country
@@evelynemugeni2369 yeah except for the palm trees 😂 , it is sparsely populated ❤️
Great example of Namlish, btw: ("Someone), they," rather than standard English avoiding that pronoun. Also the lack of distinction between singular and plural. We's unique mos, neh?
Coastal side of Namibia 🇳🇦 has a heavy German influence till today. I’m glad you enjoyed Swakopmund the tranquility of that city. I’m going through all your Namibian videos.
Thank you for your support ☺️
Your VOICEOVER, you will be high up there with the best UA-camrs....
❤️❤️
Can we chat Towera? Sure you will come back to Namibia@@towera
I thought I was the only one who noticed, her voice-over is top notch
There is also an Aquarium in Swakopmund.
Oh wow, I wish I knew when I was there !
@@towera I hope u went thru the long JETTY into the sea in Swakopmund. Am not sure if it was open when u were there coz I read something early this year like it has been closed for renovations. U can also go sandboarding in desert Swakopmund, Camel riding in desert, dune driving, ballooning and aerial flights. Moreso, u can visit one of the highest sand dunes in world, Dune 7 east of Walvis Bay and no visit to Namibia and Coast is complete without visiting SANDWICH HARBOUR which is some 45km west of Walvis Bay along the coast. That is exactly where the highest dunes meet the sea with dunes as high as 200 metres kissing the sea.
Moreso, u can go north of Swakopmund to Henties bay town 80km along coast in Skeleton coast national Park and see shipwrecks along including the largest seal colony in the world at CAPE CROSS SEAL RESERVE. LASTLY, no visit to Namibia is complete without visiting Southern Namibia's famous tourist attraction called SOSSUSVLEI where u find Deadvlei (dead trees). It's a UNESCO world heritage site. Infact the whole place from Sossusvlei to Sandwich harbour is called NAMIB SAND SEA under UNESCO. U HAVE dunes like BIG DADDY which is as high as 325metres.
I think I will just have to make another trip specifically for just Swakopmund and Walvis bay, I only had one day to cover both so of course I missed out a lot
@@towera Oh yes one day is not enough. At least 3 days. Swakopmund is bigger than Walvis Bay although Walvis Bay has 103 000 people compared to 75000 for Swakopmund. However, next time when In Swakopmund go northwards of it along the coast say 6km along the coast north of Strand Hotel that's where there is the largest mall in Swakopmund and variety of restaurants overlooking sea. It's called AM MEER PLATZ MALL. THERE is a paved prominade (walkway) along the sea from strand until the mall am talking about. So u dnt need to take a car if u want, u can just walk along the bank of the sea. I prefer to give people more information. There are also alot lodges in same area.
Thanks for this will definitely be useful next time when I visit
You said it well
Yes There are about 20,0000 namibian born Germans living in Swakopmund. It's mixed in sense that both Afrikaaners (Dutch descendants) also live there.
Wow but it makes sense I saw a lot of them and thank you for watching 😊
@@towera There are alot of blacks too but traditionally in surburbs far along the coast Northeast of Swakopmund CBD. There are retail centres there too. So they will rarely come to CBD.
Yeah I guess it’s the area I was in aswel, next time will give it more time to fully explore
Yeah it really looks German if you remove the palm trees and add clouds in the sky. Also that museum gives a visual experience of the colonial history, it's a must visit in my opinion. You can also do skydiving and quad biking and other sports in swakopmund
😂😂 the clouds add character
@@towera 😂
Sorry dear, once in while happens
Yeah unfortunately,
@@toweraThey really look down on black faces in Swakopmund and Walvis bay. Always speak your mind whenever you find yourself in weird situation. Walk proudly on the African continent, you are home.
Black staff undermine us more as black tourists, they think we don’t have financial means to be served.
I don't know what time of the year you were there, but it seems like you experienced sone Bergwind conditions. It happens during the Aitumn / Winter. It would not have affected the decision so built a the town there, because it happens so very infrequently.
Not every time you see sand blowing it qualifies as a sand storm. Especially between Swakopmund and Walvisbay, where it os the case almost daily, because the wind blows over the sand dunes on the interior (eastern) side of the road.
In the Windhoek video you did not mention that after WW1, Namibia was actually a British protectorate, but South Africa took over from them after WW2.
Btw, what you showed around the 9 minute mark isn't our Namibian State House (which is in Windhoek), but the German colonial governor's office. Architecture in Swakopmund is great, but often-times either left in shambles or infested with....well, see above....Still a great place in the festive season, when it it is overcrowded, including late at night.
This was introduced to me as the Swakopmund state house, do you guys call it something different?
@@towera Definitely! This is the colonial governor's palace. Only during a short time did it accede to that glamour again.
Aaah okay
@@towerathat is our state house where the president stays when he is in Erongo region that’s the coastal area.
In the past it was a governor house now it’s a state house. So you are right
Where you from?
At Hotel a la Mer, you do not need to ask for eggs. You're being asked how you want them.
I said exactly this”you can ask the staff if you want the eggs in a specific way” not ask them for eggs😊
@@towera Yea, sorry. Just a great place to be. Except for what you mentioned about Swakopmund in general. I also stayed at Mondesa and DRC. Different story.
W. T. F😂😂😂
Am sorry for a few of our bad appels.. Hope you come back again 😊
