Introducing Clarens and the Golden Gate Nature Reserve

Two old folks visit Claude Monet's Giverny
มุมมอง 121ปีที่แล้ว
The artist Claude Monet was a trail blazer in the impressionist movement, and he also managed to become a wealthy man after he rented a house in Giverny, a village in Normandy about 65 kms outside Paris. The house provided a stable domestic base, and Monet's fortunes changed for the better as his agent sold more and more of his paintings. Monet remained at Giverny for the rest of his life altho...
Two old folks visit the Villa San Michele
มุมมอง 126ปีที่แล้ว
In AD 26 the emperor Tiberius left Rome, never to return. He spent the rest of his life on the island of Capri on the Amalfi coast, where he built five villas. The villa of San Michele stands on a high rocky outcrop 325 meters above the sea, with views over the Bay of Naples and the Sorrentine peninsula. It is a work of architectural genius and one of Capri's main tourist attractions, on a par ...
Two old folks in Cape St Francis
มุมมอง 208ปีที่แล้ว
You might wonder what two retired people would find to do in a surfing village in the Eastern Cape of South Africa for a whole week. But you don’t have to surf, or fish, or play golf, to enjoy this lovely place. We had a great time. After Leighton Hulett bought a farm in St. Francis Bay, he built a canal system refreshed by the tides. The St Francis canals became the first marina in Southern Af...
Two old folks on the Canal du Nivernais in Burgundy

Two old folks visit the Midlands Meander
มุมมอง 516ปีที่แล้ว
On Route 2 of the Midlands Meander between Howick and Curry’s Post, you can visit the memorial to John Goodman Household, SOUTH AFRICA'S FATHER OF AVIATION. There is a story - or a legend - that this KZN farmer built, launched and flew a primitive glider around 1870, when the Wright brothers were still at school, and lived to tell the tale. The Natal Midlands is an easy one-hour drive from Durb...
Two old folks visit Vermont in Autumn
มุมมอง 30ปีที่แล้ว
A while ago we visited the New England state of Vermont in the USA. We fell in love with the state and its white churches and red barns, historic covered bridges and clapboard houses, pumpkins and maple syrup. Vermont presents a perfect image of New England and its farms, quiet rural towns with village greens, country stores and spired churches. Most people plan to visit Vermont in the fall (au...
A girl's best friend
มุมมอง 512 ปีที่แล้ว
There are many legends of diamonds lying scattered on the beaches in Namibia. But are they true? Indeed they are. When a railway worker on his day off at the beach picked up a raw diamond lying in the sand, it led to a diamond rush with hundreds of prospectors and miners scraping diamonds out of the sands and crevices, and taking pot shots at each other. The government stepped in and quickly de...
Two old folks visit Avignon - jewel of Provence
มุมมอง 623 ปีที่แล้ว
Three and a half hours by TVG from Paris, Avignon is a fairy tale city with a castle enclosed by ramparts that stretch for miles. Four million visitors visit the city and surrounds every year. Behind the ramparts you will find medieval streets full of history and rich in art. Avignon is easy to explore on foot. It's more of a village than a city. You can stroll the streets, view art galleries, ...
Two days in the Champagne Valley
มุมมอง 1.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Champagne Castle was named, so the story goes, when a climber dropped his celebration bottle of bubbly from the peak before he could toast his success. The valley between Cathkin Peak and Champagne Castle is one of the loveliest in the Drakensberg. Departing from Midstream, you turn at Harrismith towards Clarens then descend into Natal past the Sterkfontein Dam. The route continues through Berg...
Two old folks on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal
มุมมอง 1583 ปีที่แล้ว
“Take the tiller!” I shouted down to my dear wife from the top of the lock. “What’s a tiller?” she yelled back. We decided to take a canal boat holiday without really knowing what we were doing. As a recently married couple with time on our hands it didn’t matter as long as we were together. I chose a place and a boat company at random and we had a great time.
Two old folks visit Maropeng
มุมมอง 1803 ปีที่แล้ว
A few weeks back we took the grandchildren to the Maropeng exhibition for a Saturday outing. It’s a good thing to do. Maropeng - in the Setswana language Returning to your roots - is an hour and a half’s drive from Johannesburg and the roads are well signposted. You can see real fossils, learn how humankind was born, view stone tools a million years old, and play interactive games. And, if you ...

The charming village of Clarens at the foot of the Maluti Mountains in the Eastern Free State is a great place to visit and meet up with friends. There are many good restaurants and pubs. A visit to the Golden Gate National Park is a highlight.
