A walk along Swakopmund's seafront

We went back to the chalet to change and pick up the laptop, the idea being that we would have a walk and then find somewhere to sit and use the wifi. We walked through town. Most places were closed because it was Sunday. We continued down to the seafront and walked along the pier and back again. We did a big loop via the aquarium and back into town without finding anywhere that had wifi.

Mark had a beer, and I had what was billed as a ‘German ice coffee’ – the strangest iced coffee I’ve ever had, but not completely terrible! 😂

From the café, we went to draw some cash and then headed to Ocean Basket, a fish restaurant, for dinner. Mark had a seafood platter, and I had fish and chips. Both were good.
