To and in Swakopmund, Namibia

Swakopmund (German for "Mouth of the Swakop") is a city on the coast of northwestern Namibia, 280 km (175 miles) west of Windhoek, Namibia's capital. It is the capital of the Erongo administrative district. As a seaside resort, the weather is cooler here in December to January (Namibia's summer months) so the territorial administration moves to Swakopmund for these months. Swakopmund's population as of 2007 is approximately 28,552.
Swakopmund is a beach resort and an example of German colonial architecture. It was founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South-West Africa.

Your book and the video are very interesting. I have visit the regional museum in Swakopmund in the days I was there. There you can find many things about the history of the place and the facts mentioned in the video.

I was christened, aged 3 months, in Swakop in October 1951. Then we left to go live in the bush in Tanganyika, where I grew up, speaking Swahili first. Have a look at my video - original footage.
