The Karoo in all it's magnificence.
We left Randfontein the 28 March to first go to Beaufortwest. On our way there we stoped at the Karoo town of Colesberg at a caravan park but they wanted R140.00 plus R40.00 per child.So I said no thanks and we went to the Colesberg jail grounds, there we stayed for free.We don't want or need electricity and saved R220.00 on camping fees.
Tuesday morning we left the jail grounds at 9h00.Back on the N1 we traveld to the town of Hanover where we stoped and Anita made us very nice breakfast burgers.
This beautiful church is the Neder Duitch Gereformeerde Curch in Hanover.
Hanover is a very small town in the Karoo and I admire the people for building this magnificent church.
We arrived at Beaufortwest show grounds and Gerrie the caretaker took us to our site.After I parked the camper, Anita made us lunch wich we had outside in the shade of the camper.Wednesday afternoon we put up the tent and unpack the Landy, thursday morning we opened shop brite and early.We where invited to the show opening dinner on Wensday night .After all the usual speaches we had a lovely fish fry dinner and we had a nice evening with our friends.Friday was also quite so we closed the stall at 22h00.Saterday morning we opend the stall at 9h00 but there was almost no one on the grounds.Later during the day the weather turned very bad the thunderstorm came so suddenly that we could not have saved our stock if we were alone.Luckely there was a lot of people that helped us to put our stock in the camper and we lost no sweets.The tent was a different story, the wind was so strong and it rianed so hard that the tent went down like the Titanic.
