It was the last day of our trip. We had to be back in Pretoria by evening. We did not want it to end. We wanted to keep on driving and driving. There is so much more we still wanted to see.
The night before we discussed our route: shall we take the obvious route over Lydenburg and head straight back to Pretoria on the N4, or shall we take the long route over Tzaneen and Polokwane? We decided to take the shorter route. But on the day, when we came to the T-junction, guess which one we took? The long route.
Of course.
We passed through the J.G. Stydom tunnel, where we met more local crafts people. The lady below were weaving mats with rolled up strips of magazines and news paper.
Just past Magoebaskloof we came to the small village of Haenertsburg.
We stopped in the main street at a quaint little coffee/book/antique shop called
The Pennefather for a cup of coffee. Here we met the owner, Beth Green, who introduced us to her pet potbelly pig whom she says is also the Mayor of Haenertsburg!
When I asked her permission to attach my flower to her windmill, she insisted that she (and her pig) should be the first people to be photographed with the flower!
May I introduce you to Beth and the Mayor.
