After we’ve already been at the most popular buildings in Swakopmund at noon, and after we’ve been in several shops and at the post office, we are attracted by the café “Zum Leuchtturmwächter” directly below the lighthouse. Speciality of the restaurant: Black forest cherry cake.  Even we ourselves as people from the South of the Black forest can’t say “no”! Together with a “Café Latte” it’s really delicious.
Honestly, usually we don’t like that quirk to eat dishes of our home country abroad, but ordering a Black forest cherry cake, while sitting below a northern German lighthouse at the coast of Namibia is really something special.

The ground itself is well cared-for, some parakeets are singing in their cages and chicken, ducks and rabbits can move freely on the grass.
Beside this place is quite peaceful and the tables and umbrellas are in such a position so that you have the possibility to choose between sun and shadow.
For us it’s the perfect place to relax and to write some postcards. And of course to watch the weaver birds, that are eating the last rest of cake at the other tables.
