Christmas and New Year: Hermanus

 Christmas and New Year is always a wonderful time to spend with family and friends. We arrived in Hermanus late on 23rd December. On 24 December Woolies opened at 6am. Andrea, Paulet, Jean and I were there before 7am, battling the crowds for brussel sprouts and cranberry sauce. Christmas lunch for 16 people sorted, we still had time to celebrate Christmas eve at Bientang's Cave. On Christmas Day we were feeling very nostalgic as this was to be our last round of parties in the Perdeput.We have sold it! We are blessed to be able to spend great times with our wonderful friends and family. We love entertaining and have so many great memories of all the braais and parties at the Perdeput. It's a simple place but it's proof that good times are all about who you are with and not about how lavish your surroundings are. It was great to celebrate Christmas SA style with our US visitors and to have the Boones from Switzerland with us for New Year.



The Hermanus area will always be a favourite. We had lots of time to visit our favourtie spots like the Saturday market at Hermanus Piertersfontein and Creation winery. We took a trip to Somereset West to Mont Marie to see the Smit clan and another trip to Hout Bay to stay with Denise and Bert on their boat. We popped over to Betties Bay a few times and hung out like locals at Soul Cafe with Di and Marjo.
