....in Windhoek is somewhat laid back compared to the hustle and bustle hurly burly of good ole London Town, which is a city that lives and breathes 24/7. Last Sunday morning I wandered into town from the guest house on Uhland Street and wondered where all the traffic was. The streets seemed deserted. Although the shops were open in the morning there were not many people around. Apparently shops close up by 1pm on Saturdays and Sundays and even places of interest such as museums shut up shop at weekends.
Yesterday, after buying a couple of extra jumpers in town (for the cold nights) I decided to walk back to Klein Windhoek along Sam Nujoma Drive. I had planned to pop into the Botanical Gardens but walking past, I noticed a sign saying that they were only open Mondays to Fridays from 8.00 til 17.00 and closed at weekends and public holidays! What a shame.
I think many people drive out of the city to the villages to spend their weekends or enjoy chilling out with family and friends at home.
