The Waterfront

It’s just a big shopping mall. But it’s safe here, the hotel has a free shuttle to here (and nowhere else) every half hour, it looks incredibly smart and there are places to eat here too.

As a Brit it always makes me laugh to see Woolworths there – especially one as upmarket as this one. Woolworths is still thriving in southern Africa (and Australia and New Zealand too). In South Africa and Namibia, it has the same reputation as Marks & Spencer does in the UK.

I spent most of my time in Exclusive Books, a bookshop full of really interesting books I didn’t buy because I have enough books on my unread list as it is.

It did amaze me to see “The Little Book of Wrexham AFC” on sale there. Wrexham is now my second nearest league team but it really does have a global reach. Five years ago they were playing Weymouth and King’s Lynn, and next season they’ll be at Leicester and Norwich.

We found a Greek restaurant there called Mythos. I had some Mythos beer – which strangely was not on the menu. I also had a very un-Greek liver and onions starter, and a decent pastitsio.
