Bloemhof Break

We had a great few days away with Collin and Claire Moore over the long weekend. We all worked Friday to Sunday, but had Monday to Wednesday off, so the four of us spent a very relaxing three days at the Bloemhof Dam and Nature Reserve (It’s about 120kms from us, not too far from where Collin and Claire are in Christiana). We stayed in a great little chalet (complete with indoor toilet and hot shower – doesn’t take too much to make us happy)

and it was really very pretty. Lots of open space and the dam itself is huge. We had sundowners (yes, that is left over communion juice…)

and braais in the evenings and relaxed in the sun during the days. Here’s something we didn’t know: Bles Bridges was killed in a car accident just outside Bloemhof – we stopped by the small monument next to the road.
