Hi "Northsun" :-) Thanks for your quick reply and mentioning your experience in my country as well. Seems that we have something in common :-) I have left the"radiating hot "Southsun" and since a few days I am home again. Had to get used to my bike and need to pick up my sports again in my surrounding. At this moment I am planning to upload more pictues of my stay in South Africa in the hope that you will visit this beautiful country sometimes :-)) I garrantee you a cheap and beautiful trip on may be the "garden route" from cape Town to Port Elizabeth. Sending a smile in your day, kind regards, Teun

thankyou for letting me know about Belle...I love little tidbits like that, bits of history..but on a more personal level. Does your piano still play, or better yet, do you play it?

Thanks for visiting my ZA album "Hout Bay" and leaving your comment there. Great that you have friends there while you are in beautiful AK. At this moment I am with my friend in South Africa for 2 months. In 2 weeks time I will go home to the Netherlands again. I enjoy this country. On our trips I made a lot of pictures which I am slowly uploading now. Sitting in the middle of West cape province with temperatures of 38 C or 100 F about in the afternoon it's good to be inside like you may hide from the cold now :-) Will visit your albums soon. Wish you well..... and keep smiling :-)
