Grant - Boet, jy het AUGRABIES uitgelaat -- never, nooit, ever nie - YOU MUST VISIT AUGRABIES ---
Stop in Keimoes at the [original Water Wheel] Also a must visist is The Padstal in Keimoes [pop in - say "Hi" to Deon from Omie Mac - and buy lots & lots of dried fruits there]
In Upington - The Donkey Monument & the "Policeman on Camel" [in front of Police Station.]
spend an hour or two at "the pienk padstal" in Kakamas .. read all the signs, look a bit closer than "first site'
And the - Die OOG in Kuruman.
To name but a few.
Don't bring God down to your level of faith ... bring your faith up to His level!
