Great Apple Crumble

I am an apple crumble addict - and these guys do serve a great apple crumble, good coffee and a great place to browse for a special gift or piece of decor. Makes a pleasant alternative.

Great place to buy keepsakes in Namibia

The Craft Center in central Windhoek is a great place to pick up souveneirs. It is well laid out and clean. There is a wide variety of items for sale:jewelry,wood carvings, books, t-shirts, etc. Prices are good and there is no high pressure sales tactics.
