Namibia - Windhoek or the land of wind

 

This is the meaning of the name of the first city we visited, the capital of Namibia, which inherits the name of the word derived from the Afrikaans, Wind-Hoek, and which means “song of the wind”. Here, the visit to the Gibeon Meteorite at the Post Street Mall is a must. About 33 pieces of this extraterrestrial body that hit Namibia's soil in the prehistoric era, predates it here, defeated in the open air, making it possible to touch them while imagining how much needed advanced through space until they reach the planet . Also calling for another extra mundane plan, a Church of Christ, built in the Gothic style and inspired by the Lutheran current, soon impresses at first glance given the neo-romantic influence, new and Gothic art it exhibits. Conceived by the architect Gotllieb Redecker, it was known as the Church of Peace.

From Windhoek we continue on to the Kalahari Desert, in Botswana, passing through Ghanzi just in time to meet the San (busmen), who receives visits absolutely desiring to share the memory of a world of yore. As night fell, we were able to watch an ancient dance ritual that took place around a huge bonfire, while Ghanzi's starry sky insisted on competing for our attention. The next morning was the time spent together with San, who connected his skills at the generation level, tricks passed down from generation to generation.
