The seasons change rapidly here, or the transition from winter to spring certainly seems a speedy flip from chilly mornings and evenings, when I've needed the heating on and had to buy extra jumpers to boiling hot, simmering days in no-time. Well apart from a couple of days of strong biting winds in-between when I tried to walk uphill in headwinds in search of an elusive Sunday afternoon tea recently but couldn't make it and was blown back down again.
Today is different, calm, beautifully clear, azure blue skies, with the sun's rays beating down on my back. So to mark the occasion, in my lunchbreak today I trotted off up the nearest hill and round the corner to one of Windhoek's best kept secrets - the Cicada Cafe, tucked away at the back of lovely garden nursery called Wilde Eend on Uhland Street. I know what you are thinking....this blog is turning into a guide to food and drink and general over indulgence in Nambia! But food and drink, along with sights and sounds, music and laughter are all part of the experiences here.
I enjoyed a slice of zingy home-made lemon meringue pie accompanied by a tall glass of ice-cold, equally zingy ginger and lemon sparkler while watching the German inhabitants of Klein Windhoek dive into an array of luscious salads. Note to self....must try one of those next time!
