My place in South Africa (Photo's)

Feels like I know many of you so well already I feel like sharing some pics with you. Although I am living in Holland 6 years again now (I was born in Holland but lived in South Africa from 1957 when my folks emigrated there) my heart still lies in Africa. I was on a visit 2 weeks ago to my elderly parents who still live there. This pic I took from the porch of their house on the banks of the Vaal River. It is about 1 hours drive from Johannesburg. I spent most of my youth in this house. Great fishing and canoeing.
That thatched roof at the rivers edge is a pub. The pub and restaurant is situated next door to my parents property and offers accommodation in chalets. Sort of a week-end get-away place. Here is their website. The guy who owns it is a ex-Canadian Dennis Wilson and his wife Ann.

Beautiful! I have a friend who was born there and lived there for a few years before coming to the US. Her heart still lies in Africa as well.

The leguans sound like some good bait for those giant catfish!

Thanks for sharing these pics
