Hi! SA friends!
I am just a French historian preparing a paper to be read, next July, at PMB campus. Congratulation! You have a very nice and interesting website. It really makes one feel like catching the first aircraft and fly over!
I was last at Saldanha in 2002, when I read a paper at the Military/Navy Academy. I spent there a wonderfull day. I sincerely hope that your country (which, in my heart is also mine) goes better and better again.
Very kind regards.

Letter from London
"I can't express in words how wonderful our stay at Papkuilsfontein was. The only problem was the brevity of our stay, oh how i wished we had booked a whole week..!"

"I had a great time. Did far more than I planned which was no bad thing after such a long journey - it would've been a shame just to sit by the pool for a week! There was possibly too much planned and I'd like to have had more time to do the same amount of stuff, but that was my schedule not yours. The whale trip was the best..."

Bonnievale
|
|
With majestic mountains on the one side and the ever-flowing Breede River on the other, Bonnievale is surrounded by the Langeberg Mountain Range in the north-east, and the Riviersonderend Mountains in the south-west. It is one of the most beautifully situated towns in the Western Cape. The town is approximately 180 km from Cape Town and 100 km from the southernmost tip of Africa at cape Agulhas.
Bonnievale is known as The Valley of Cheese and Wine for good reason. Here are 4 Co-operative Wine Cellars, 4 Estates and 2 private wine producers in the area. The oldest wine cellar in the Bonnievale area is Nordale Wine Cellar. The Robertson Wine Route, which includes all the wine cellars in the Bonnievale area, has in recent years won great acclaim in South Africa and around the world, for the production of outstanding white and red wines.
In Bonnievale are two cheese factories: Parmalat and Mooivallei Suiwel. Parmalat processes cheese, butter, milk, and whey powder. Parmalat's Bon Blanc (white cheddar) was crowned Dairy Product of the Year at the National Dairy Awards. All milk received from Parmalat's milk producers is tested and analysed every single day before it is pasteurised or processed. The Bactoscan (the only one in Africa) tests total bacteria counts, while other sophisticated equipment tests for antibiotics, any additives including water content, as well as protein and butterfat. Proof of Parmalat's awareness of hygiene and quality is the fact that the Bonnievale factory was the first factory outside South East Asia to receive the 20 Keys Bronze Award for extremely effective and efficient systems. For the third year running Parmalat has won the coveted Cheese Manufacturer of the Year award.
