Reflection of a village
In small communities with families living there for generations, the church is the reflection of village life.
Elim in South Africa is a typical Moravian Mission Town and the windows of the church reflect very nicely the changes this village (population: plus-minus 2500) momentarily undergoes.
The next posting will show more of Elim.
Pirate of the Klein Rivier and other things in and around the village
Our village is one of those rural places in South Africa without any tourist traps. That alone makes it an intriguing place for the curious, exploration minded, traveler. And if you are one of those sheep following the mainstream … well we’re fine with it but, please, do visit all those famous attractions. Here we move (or not) in rural pace and take our time for it. A paddle in the Klein Rivier which flows over in one of the most amazing lagoons in this part of the world; watch birds (there are a few hundred different species); take a hike to one of the numerous waterfalls; ride one horseback through the vineyards or in the ‘veld’; enjoy the majestic views all around; chilling a sunset (and for the early birds the sunrise); have lunch or dinner out- or indoors or take a picnic where-ever; enjoy a wine tasting; read a book; etc. etc. Just enjoy Quality of Village Life.
