Windhoek, Namibia

Arrived in Windhoek, Namibia last night. It is very different from Dar es Salaam. Very dry...reminds me of Arizona. The city (town really) of Windhoek is pretty nice, still has remnants of German style architecture, and german is widely used. It is clean and seems very safe, at least during the day. I guess its a little more dangerous at night, but what city isn't. After dinner last night I was asked if I wanted to be "escorted" by a young girl...uh, no thanks.
Woke up early today and toured around the city, it is so small that everything is within walking distance.
Here is the main street (doesn't look like Africa huh?):

Fidel Castro St??

Some masks and wooden carvings sold on the street:

This afternoon, I booked a half day tour of the Daan-Viljoen Nature Reserve. "This tour offers you game viewing amid the beautiful scenery offered by the steep hills and valleys of the Khomas-Highland Mountains. A panoramic excursion up to almost 2000m above sea level to the many hills around Windhoek." Hopefully it will be interesting.
