WINDHOEK - NAMIBIA

AUGUST 2001 - ENJOYING SOUTHERN SUN IN WINTER TIME


"Long flight? Take a nap or read a book enjoying the sun in the Zoo Park, right in the centre of Windhoek"


"Go up the hill to the Alte Feste (1890), with the Reiterdenkmal (1911) - One of the oldest buildings in Windhoek, it served as military headquarters, hostel, and now houses the state museum. The statue commemorates the soldiers killed in colonial wars"


"Then, it's easy. All the streets are running downwards.
Christuskirche (1910) - corner of Fidel Castro Street & Robert Mugabe Ave...
Blue sky!"


"Tintenpalast (1913) - It now houses the National Assembly"


"On the way down, you can always drop by the Kalahari Sands Hotel, with a shopping mall in the premises"


"Downtown sculpture"


"Care for some handicrafts? There is a huge selection"


"There is always a Portuguese anywhere in the world"


"St. Mary's Cathedral against the Sun"


"African Winter sunset"


"Enjoying the evening delights of the Kalahari Sands Hotel Bar"
