Rosemary Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 We took Zena to Agulhas today. It is the most southern point of Africa and is the place where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. On the way there we stopped at a pup for something cold - an English pup !! I wouldn't know Met some of the wonderfully inventive children of South Africa with their 'draad kar'. The children make their own toys our of wire - this boy made himself a truck with a trailer The little boy in this photo looks very serious, but I think it is just the novelty of the occasion he was very proud of his truck and was laughing and talking until the camera came out Serious stuff - photos This is the Agulhas lighthouse - it was built in 1848 because of all the ships that were wrecked on this piece of coastline This is a replica of a figurehead of a French ship which was wrecked here in 1877 And this is the reason we brought Zena to this point. Behind her is the exact point where the two oceans meet - The atlantic on the left and the Indian Ocean on the right While we were there we met a German guy (he didn't want his photo taken as he was 'not at his best' - his words) He has been touring the Western Cape on a bicycle - everything he owns is on his bike - I would say he is about 55-60 years old. Zena was getting tired, so she had a rest in the helmet while we had a cooldrink Monty cannot leave the coast without first checking how the fisherman are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would love to see more of where everyone lives and how they live. I have never been out of South Africa so every picture you post is something I have never seen before Even your homes are furnished differently to how we do it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty bare and brown, at the moment. Soon, though, farmers will be out in the fields, and if the timing is right, maybe, just maybe, we can get Zena a ride in a big ol' John Deer farm implement! We were kind of hoping to get some of the folks from the general area together to do something while she's here, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Great Pics Rosemary, I think we all take our own slice of the world for granted. We all think everywhere else is more exotic or exciting. I live in the world famous University city of Oxford, where world leaders send their children to be educated. To you visiting it's, The city of dreaming spires. to me it's noisy, crowded full of students and tourist,s getting in my way when I need to be somewhere. A place where city planners seem to have completely ignored the historic character of the city and filled it with grey ugly blocks of concrete.

Still, I find little picturesque in bare, brown farm fields! (Tourists are definitely few and far between, around here! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Rosemary, I'm jealous! Zena is such a lucky pup. Going to such beautiful locales, riding a Harley, and dining at fine eating establishment, all while taking in the fresh air and the sea breeze. Thanks so much for sharing the photos. As always, they are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Great pics! What is the story behind this cute pup? Is she travelling the world of husky owners? Yes Jamie, Zena is traveling the world. She has her own passport, photo album and diary She is from the UK and South Africa is her first port of call. She will shortly be leaving here to visit Gigi and Becky in the USA. Must admit though, we have had a few very strange looks - I am sure people are wondering if we are slightly off our rocker carrying a little husky toy and taking pics of it - at out age. They probably think we are senile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
