The Tafel Lager was the other common lager here, if Windhoek lager was not available, that would do as well, as long as it served cold and you have enough of it ;-)
During a stop over direction Etosha we had a refreshment in this "road restaurant" - on the menu :-Chocolates-Chips-Cool drinks and sweets !A language so common and understandable for all of us.
