For those who enjoy Red wine,
I recently visited AVONTUUR wine estate in Stellenbosch/Somerset-west with some friends to do some wine tasting and a bite to eat. Ok, they did the wine tasting i was more interested in my friend`s cousin who visited from Windhoek!
Well - they have a nice selection of wines and the restaurant is reasonably priced with a nice menu offering for every taste. More importantly, they stock a 2006 Merlot which was a export batch they now selling for R15/bottle. The bottles are not labelled and has a screw top, but makes really good drinking considering the price.
So, should any one be looking for a mid-week red wine to enjoy while chatting on the forum and dont feel like opening the "good stuff" for just a glass - give it a try. Trust me, it beats the Swartland or "cheaper" Durbanville hills wine sold at Pick & Pay.

Re: For those who enjoy Red wine,
HO NO?!..
Let me just say - im packed and racked for Windhoek end of the year!
Seriously - the Namibians are CRAZY over the Hilux or Toyota bakkies. Apparently the year end compititions at Swakop is a must for any sand-lover with their dunes being soo unique. Will have to start saving for the petrol bill now already hey?

Less petrol (as long as you don't leave it idling at 2000)

Re: For those who enjoy Red wine,
Ferry is a nice idea ?
How much ?
But then you dont have wheels in Swakop. Fortunately son in law has a 2.7 DC 4x4.
It is good entertainment watching the different 4x4's in Swakop. Most are visitors. Nicest place to watch is to sit in parking area at the only mall. Everyone stops there to stock up. Overlanders etc. But Toyota is king there. Cruisers are as common as Tazz'z on N1.
Best biltong and meat in the world at the butchery opposite the mall.
