Did You Know?

A German Town in the Namib

Swakopmund was founded as German South West Africa's main port in 1892 and still has the half-timbered buildings, Lutheran church and bakeries to show for it — set between the oldest desert on Earth and the Atlantic.

The clock: Namibia abolished its winter time change in 2017 and keeps UTC+2 year-round. Fog from the cold Benguela current rolls over the town most mornings.
