Meteorites, at the mall in Windhoek
Or as I half heard my daughter say. "Once they hit the earth they're meteors, right?"
A collection of meteorites is on display at the mall. They are part of a larger group known as the Gibeon Meteorites after the town near which they were discovered. Estimated to have fallen to earth around 200 million years ago.
I swear this city is the least African place you can imagine. There are some black people about but when the restaurant advertises "traditional cuisine" they mean German. Windhoek
The government run craft center on Tal street is very good and has a pleasant cafe where I could sit while the professional shoppers took over. Enjoying Windhoek lager don't you know.
