Duwisib Castle


If California's Death Valley can have a castle then the Namib desert should have one too and it does. The pictured Duwisib Castle was built by a German baron. Something about the desert does that to certain people. My daughter is seen here enjoying the view out across the desert. There isn't a stairway to get up there, the guy had a ladder setup and one could climb up if desired. I stayed down and took the picture. Felt like it would be pretty cool in the shady courtyard even in the summer. As a plus there is a nice little cafe out back with a pleasant patio that serves a good chocolate cake. (German don't you know)
