Dear all,
I am writing my last blog from the house of Robert and Bouwina in Pretoria, this afternoon I will be on my way back to The Netherlands and Delft. The last week of my field trip was a bit more relaxed than the week before, although the last three days of my research (Wed, Thu & Fri) were full of new experiences and discoveries.
On Wednesday I was allowed to enter the rooms of the Castle that are used by Iziko, the national museum organization of this country. I promised to keep the photos only for personal use, so I can’t show you them, but I can assure you, these were the most beautiful rooms of the Castle. Cynthia, or Nolwandle, her real name showed me the rooms and couldn’t stop saying that the floors were still original, the plaster and paintings on the wall as well. I knew that they weren’t, but who cares? This was my last visit to the Castle. After this I went to Stellenbosch, to enjoy a nice braai at the student house of Eva, who studies there for half a year. I went there without GPS… But it turned out just fine. It was a nice night out in Stellenbosch, the crowd in the bar was, how can I put it, special. “Field trip to South Africa Part 4” verder lezen
