We went to check out the camp site on the point. We had been warned of being blown away here. Only one camper in site...in a caravan, and literally nothing else. also evidence of some shady business here at night, so we opted not to camp here and went looking in the town for some alternatives. Not before getting a good view of the bay..
Just googled it...called Shearwater Oysters Now I want to go back again!
So after stuffing oursleves with their lovely oysters, and prawns and chocolate truffle deserts We were off to bed to do the tourist thing in the morning. More diamond stories and tales of treachery and deceit...and very interesting history as well. My father grew up working along the entire Namibian coast, and this place has history in our family. Not by birth, just by time.
Off to do the tour
Found a lovely place to stay with some locals and the lady at the information as well as our hosts both told us to go eat some oysters at the oyster farm in the harbour...for the life of me can't remember the name of the place...but if you are in the area...you have to go!!!! Really really good and cheap oysters!!! And a lovely restuarant in the factory. Does tours and tasting in the day and at night it's a restuarant.Just googled it...called Shearwater Oysters Now I want to go back again!
