Lüderitz

Lüderitz is best described as a surreal colonial relic – a 19th century Bavarian village on the edge of the vast, windswept Namib Desert coast, almost untouched by the 20th century. Lüderitz is almost like a real small German town with delicatessens, coffee shops and Lutheran churches. Here, the icy but clean South Atlantic is home to seals, penguins and other marine life and the desolate beaches support flamingoes and ostriches.
