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..."

Hermanus
Situated in the heart of the Cape Whale Route, only 120 km from Cape Town, Hermanus, with its champagne air and mild climate offers a myriad of attractions to visitors. It has grown from a rustic fisherman's village to being acknowledged by the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) as one of the 12 best whale watching sites in the world.

Here the eco tourist can have the unique experience of watching whales spyhopping, breaching and lobtailing from the cliff paths or take a whale watching boat trip to come up really close and personal with the Southern Right whales that frequent the shores of Hermanus between June and December.

In the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, nature lovers can go for hikes among the 1100 different species of Fynbos or go bird watching along the Klein River, Bot River and Onrus River estuaries or along the beaches where the endangered oystercatcher breeds.

Hermanus is the only town with its own whale crier. Wilson Salukazana watches the Bay for any sign of whales. As seen he spots a whale he blows his horn.

Activities to be enjoyed in Hermanus: Scuba-diving, diving, sailing, boardsailing, sea-and river kayaking, deep sea fishing, Great White Shark viewing and cage diving off Dyer Island, hang-gliding, paragliding, rock angling, fresh-or saltwater flyfishing, sundown cruise on the Klein River, Tennis, Squash, bowls, horse riding, Galleries of artists, jewellery, pottery, local crafts, top quality wines on Africa's most southern wine route, Hermanus Wander or get a glimpse of SA's unique black township by taking a guided tour. Visit the Lemm's Corner Craft Market where crafters hawk their goods.
