Windhoek City (Namibia Africa) Independence Ave

Windhoek is very much a "Western" style city. My happiest memory is of eating in a raised sidewalk cafe which sold delightful light meals, deserts (pancakes, ice cream with maple syrup!) and ice cold drinks. While savoring my meal I watched the passing parade. Windhoek's sidewalk cafes are a special feature where traditional Namibian meals can be served with wines or draught beer. There is a wide range of restaurants, including German, French, Korean, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and Chinese cuisine.

@latitudehopper MORRA! MORRA!. I have a map of Windhoek open in front of me. I think it may have been at the intersection of Independence Ave and Dr Frans Indongo Drive.
