We stayed 9 days at Don and Patricia's appartment .
Well, what can I ever say ? We found so much more than we expected !
The appartment is full of simple joy, bright colours, high ceilings, you have your own cute little garden decorated with stones and local sculptures, and that famous outside shower ! Patricia and Don hosted us personnaly the first day, we felt very welcome and found wine, fruits, bred, cheese on the kitchen's table.They gave us a small booklet they wrote ( the African sun " bible ") in whitch we found every useful thing you need to know about the neighbourhood, and Don 's special advices on particular places to see or to travel to. This was definitely much more useful than the guides we brought with us ! Thanks to him we experienced an unforgettable trip on Route 62 and spent a night in a farm at Red Stone Hills, surrounded by an incredible landscape .
The Spaar supermarket is a few minutes away and closes at 9.30 p.m. whitch is very convenient .The neighbourhood is very quiet , and yet not far from major attractions.
We had our own car and were able to park inside the gates.
But most of all the experience was unique because we met two beautiful persons.
When you meet Don and Patricia you meet South Africa, the huge spaces, the mixed cultures, the depths of history, you meet friendsh
ip, hospitality, tolerance, the best of humankind.
Don is not only a journalist, not only a writer, not only a photographer, he is a true adventurer of earth.
Patricia has a very delicate and sensitive eye and has such an elegant way of finding sense in every small event of life !
Thanks to both of them this trip has turned into a whole" way of life "experience.
