I met Heinz and Christine at their friend Solvej's home in Hout Bay. We became acquainted very quickly and set off on a winelands and cultural journey.

What a wonderful couple Christine and Heinz were to travel with. They were easy going and were out to enjoy themselves as well as learn all about township life on this cultural journey. Their easy going ways made my function as their guide easy and enjoyable resulting in a wonderful journey being had by all. This wonderful German couple truly were fantastic to tour with and I think the above pictures prove my feelings to be correct.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME ON THE DAY

Dear Selwyn,

Heinz and I are back in Germany and not a day passes that we do not think of
our fabulous stay in South Africa.

The day we spent with you definitely had a strong impact on us and it was
the "missing link" to what we had seen before!
We still talk about our visit to Kayamandi almost every day and think of all
the wonderful people we met there! Thank you
so much for your most sensitive guidance (you know how nervous I was!!!),
your knowledge and your honest opinions - and
for making this day such a very special one for us!

We both enjoyed the pictures and your trip report - unfortunately we were
not able to see the video - but we sure do 
remember dancing with the kids at 40°C !!!!! 

Thank you once again - DANKE!

Christine and Heinz
