Looks like our plans are finalizing for Namibia this year. We are going to spend a day and a half in Windhoek or so what is there to do and see that is usefull and interesting. Any suggestions welcome.

What I'm looking forward too is to drink Windhoek beer in Windhoek that will be sort of a thing I always wished I could do.

There is a Portugese restaurant named Paulo's (I think). They have the giant Mozambican tiger prawns . They are incredible. I couldn't eat enough. They also have a wide variety of alcohol.

You will want to eat an evening meal at Joe's Beer House.Try to make reservations ahead of time as it is chock -o- block full most weekends during the season.I ordered something that was called "the bushman".It was a shishkabob with eland gemsbok,crocidile and ostrich.Also had veggies spaced between the meat.

Great meal and I fed six of us for well under a hundred bucks.

Bring your camera as there is much to photogragh and you will want to get a photo of yourself seated on the toilet at the bar.

Second the idea of Joe's -don't miss it. We went and walked the grounds of the Legislature and the Lutheran Church and enjoyed them both-then went to see the President's house and were chastised for taking a picture of it-go figure!

Fred, You wont miss Joe's, i promise you...

Karl, Not sleeping yet glad that you will show us around

Another vote for Joe's beer house. It's a great restaurant!

I overnited there last August at a nice B&B. My PH picked me up there and took me to 3 different gun shops in Windhoek while waiting for my guns to catch up with me the next morning. I bought a baseball hat from Buffalo River, African Hunting Supplies.
I didn't see much of Windhoek I'd be in a hurry to get back to. Though I did buy my bride a nice 2 carat gemstone at a jewler there for 1/3 the price it would have cost me in the States.

Looking forward to have you as a guide in both the jungle of Windhoek and Kalahari.
