DAY 4 GRAND AFRICA VOYAGE
Swakopmund, Namibia 🇳🇦
After arriving at Walvis Bay, I spent the day exploring the fascinating nearby town of Swakopmund, Namibia. It is a curious mix of German colonialism and African beach resort. And of course with it being #Namibia , SAND is everywhere! 🚢

KHOI HISTORY IN OUR BAY 🇿🇦
During the mid-1700s, as European farmers moved eastward from the Cape, the only other humans they encountered were the Khoikhoi. According to thecasualobserver.co.za “Even Bartolomeu Diaz in his squat wooden caravels had in 1488 noticed them in spite of their sparse density. The footprint of this nomadic people was light and easily erased. Never settling in a location long enough to leave an imprint, their influence was ephemeral. This peripatetic people, who left no trace of their existence, were the first people in what would become Port Elizabeth.” According to Wikipedia, the Khoikhoi (updated orthography Khoekhoe, formerly also known as the Hottentots) are the traditionally nomadic pastoralist non-Bantu indigenous population of southwestern Africa. Despite their distinct heritage they are often grouped with the hunter-gatherer San under the compound term Khoisan. Today at South Blvd Café in South End, I had the pleasure of meeting local Khoi Chief Edmund Stuurman, a descendent of Chief Dawid Stuurman (after whom our airport is named) and his assistant Abigail Roses. Both are passionate about the history of our region and the important role that the Khoi played.
