After Ganzi and the bushmen we went to Windhoek, which is the capital of Namibia. Here we had a few hours in the afternoon to walk around town and do a bit of internet if needed.
Namibia was occupied by South Africa until is independence in 1990. This means that Namibia is a very western country in terms of development and Windhoek especially could almost be any European city.
We were not camping in Windhoek, but instead stayed in dorms at a backpackers. This was a welcome change as we got to sleep in a real bed. In the evening we all went to restaurant which was known for its game meat. Cecilie had the "Namib Bush Fire", which consisted of Gemsbok, Springbok and Ostrich medallions. All the meat was real tender and cooked perfectly - a very delicious meal.
Windhoek was just a quick stop on the way to Etosha National Park so we did not do anything else here.
