Namibia is empty is because of the genocide that the Germans committed against the Herero and Narma more than 100 years ago. The Germans wiped out 85% of the Herero and 85% of the Narma and stole their land and cattle.

There is no such thing as Afrikaans. They can call their version of Dutch whatever ever they want, but Europeans cannot claim to be Africans. They came, they slaughtered our people, looted our land and cattle, and still hold on to them. This is true in both Namibia and South Africa. Their Nazi German brethren were kicked out the USSR (even if they are now trying to return), but they still remain in Africa. You cannot come to our land, massacre our people, and then attempt to appropriate our heritage by calling yourself Afrikans. You are not Afrikan, and will never be.

Namibia is such a beautiful country. I visited it in November 2020, just a few days after the nationwide lockdown ended and the country was open for tourism again. All the famous tourist destinations were empty. Being all alone at Sossusvlei for hours, a location normally full of tourists was a great experience. Swakopmund is the most beautiful town in the country. Places like Walvis Bay or Lüderitz were not that great, but I loved the ghost town Kolmanskop outside of Lüderitz. They filmed many scenes of the Fallout series there. My personal highlight in the country was the Etosha national park, were you can drive around seeing all the wild animals. There were just a few dozend tourists in the whole park when I was there which made it so much easier stopping and taking pictures of wild animals.

Very interesting! I did not make it to the coast of Namibia and I am glad I saw it now. The dunes are a lot like the dunes near Huacachina in Peru, near Ica. I am glad you mentioned the linguistic situation in Namibia. The people are indeed polyglots, which is quite amazing. Before the Germans colonized Namibia, the area was dominated by the Afrikaners and the Dutch of the East India Company, when they had to sail around the Cape to get to Indonesia. The word "walvis" means whale in Dutch, and "Windhoek" is comprised of two Dutch words, "wind" and "hoek", windy corner.

Afrikaans is a language that developed on the coastal regions of southwestern Namibia and southwestern South Africa. It developed between the Flemish, Scandinavian sailors on Dutch ships and Portuguese sailors who traded and intermarried with the indigenous khoikhoi people who inhabited southwestern Africa. Later on there was a strong influence from the Malay(Asian language) speaking peoples who came to the Cape and a smaller influence from the French Hugenots (Christians escaping persecution) who arrived in the Cape in 1688. All these populations intermarried and lived mostly rural lives and over time developed a new language named after the continent of Africa.

The no swimming sign you were pointing to was behind the Mole and known locally as the washing machine. It has a hectic under pull and current especially when there is a bit of swell running. Caused a few drownings. Slightly to your left is a great wave if you are crazy enough called "Lockjoint". Only appears for about 1.5 to 2 hours at low tide on a decent size swell. Pretty much breaks over a table top reef and runs like a beast for about 40 or so meters before clamping. Hardly ever allows you to finish - demands an air drop and then you pump like mad and hang in until you get clamped. Not sure if boys still surf it ... hell not that many did even when I grew up. Was known as a board muncher - but our low tide go to after a high tide Vineta Point session or on the way back from Guns. Worth it because of the Ice-cream and coffee at The Strand Cafe or a visit to Mr Terry and the legendry old "Oshiti" for sneaky under age draught after being smashed. Working in London and the desert and ocean are sucking my soul down memory lane. Hell I would give a toe just for the hot desert sun right now.
