Namibia – Swakopmund 纳米比亚斯瓦科普蒙德 12/2018 Stop 22 站

16-18/12/2018. After a brief stay in Windhoek, I took a small bus to the coastal town of Swakopmund. The air was warm as we drove through a long stretch of dry land, but became cooler near the coast.

Expensive low-rise apartments and bungalows lined the seafront. I saw the most colorful beach here, carpeted with teeny weeny afro-length grass ornamented with a profusion of flowers. The town was of the German colonial style, with streets lined with tidy rows of double-story shops. All around, European flavor permeated. Someone had the good humor to liven up the buildings with cheerful colors. The scattered green vegetation, beautiful mellow blue sky, and thin high clouds all did their best to lift the mood of this town surrounded by toasted desert and sand. In Africa, no less an oasis.

16-18/12/2018在温得和克短暂逗留后搭上小巴到海岸小城斯瓦科普蒙德 （Swakopmund）。开始时空气闷热，快到海边时空气逐渐凉快。

这小城海滩前已给豪宅和别墅占据。整个小城充满德国殖民建筑，街道整齐的欧式双层店铺，再上了鲜明颜色，把这小城画得像个德国小镇。在非洲散发欧洲气息，使人耳目一新。淡蓝天，绿草木，薄薄高云，这小城像个沙漠中的绿洲。
