A view to the other side
posted by Kerry-Anne
We're still at Goudini Spa today (on our blog, at least...); this view is at roughly 90 degrees to the view we showed yesterday. I love the combination of the mountains in the background, the neat crop rows on the farmlands in the middle, and the natural vegetation in the foreground.By the way, the name "Goudini" is derived from a Khoisan phrase meaning “bitter honey”. The people who originally inhabited this area apparently found that the honey they made from the flowers of a particular local tree was bitter.

I like this scene. So nice and no memories.
It constantly amazes me how much SA is like Australia - that could be a scene from home!
What is Khoisan?
Looks beautiful and relaxing.
jules>> The Khoisan are an ethnic group of people originating from southern Africa. You can read more about them at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khoisan
(When we visited, it supprised us how much Australia looked like South Africa ;).
