We arrived in Himeville, stepped into a coffee shop to say 'hello' to Bev, the proprietor we had met
the previous year. She certainly has a memory for customers as she pointed out where we had sat during
that visit. Tactfully, she did not say anything about the mess we probably left under the table.
Thereafter we headed for Kenmo Lake and viewed the small but exceptional body of water, surrounded
by trees, each one in a different stage of its autumn period.
Later that afternoon, after checking in at Elsa and Derryl's Yellowwood Cottage, we returned again, in
a light rain, to view sunset at the remarkable lake. We were not disappointed as a combination of soft
and fading light, still water and the incredible coloring provided a treat that can only be expressed
visually. Try it out but just before scrolling down, we'd like to mention these two special ladies again.
We had not decided what our plans were until the last moment, that is, whether we would head to Lesotho
or not. What a great decision because, as mentioned before, we can't remember a better time in our lives.
Anyway, after sending an email to Elsa and Derryl inquiring about accommodation, we received a reply that
stated we should just arrive at their place, (they would be returning later), select a room and make
ourselves at home. They had also arranged transport for us to be taken to the border post as well.
Some people are just most kind and nice.
Two women who have cared and loved me for over 62 years, lucky boy.
Bird on the water, a 'little color', too
A great growth industry, security tipping. Notice the African method of respect when holding
a hand/arm towards a person.
Mist settles above the water surface.
A meeting of minds with Samson at the Witsieshoek Lodge, another memorable hiking and life experience.
The best hostesses in Himeville, Elsa and Derryl...the best in KwaZulu-Natal, too.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
