Another African farm

Out the kitchen window
Hanlie and girls
For our first three days in the Cape we visited our friends living in Wellington. We hired a small car without airconditioning at the airport and headed to Wellington. We soon regretted the decision about aircon since the temperature in Wellington is very high - one day we hit 39degC! The extreme heat knocked the girls out each time we got in the car. On one day we went and used the public pool which was very well maintained and used - at least 100 people were there. Hanlie and Charlie live as tenants on an organic farm called 'bloublommetjieskloof' and Hanlie's boyfriend Morné visited with us. Morné soon became a great friend of Hannah and Lisa, as did Charlie, the two of them providing shoulders to ride on and interesting natural facts. Although it was hot, the visit to Wellington was definitely a highlight of the trip, not just because of the beauty, but also the opportunity to catch up with such wonderful friends. Hanlie works at some sort of orphanage with hundreds of children - HAM or House of Andrew Murray taking it's name from the great 1860 revivalist. I chatted with Hanlie about their marketing, I am looking more into marketing and how others do it to see if there's some way in which I can help. We ended our visit to our Wellington friends by swimming with them on 'The Strand' beach.
