First visit to Zimbabwe
End of August I was in a very priviledged position to accompany Jeanette Verster to Zimbabwe for a wedding on the Saturday. After flying out on the Friday afternoon, very nervous and anxious about this big step in my life, (it was the very first time ever that I crossed the border of South Africa to go to another country) we landed safely in Zim. I was so proud of the first stamps in my brand new, first time ever, passport. Believe me when I say there were so many “very-first-time-evers” that I won’t forget this trip (ever).
(You are not allowed to tell that the following two photos were taken with my “mik en druk” on our way from the airport to the venue..)
When we arrived at the venue, Bushman Rock, I was pleasantly surprised with this beautiful farm which is the only vineyard in Zim. From beautiful chalets, to awesome food, to friendly people and gorgeous landscapes. I felt at home and think there is where all the nerves and anxiousness disappeared. Jeanette and I walked around to seek for beautiful spots to shoot at. We walked a lot that weekend – I was very stiff when I got home on Sunday…:-)
Walking around I got beautiful photos of the venue and here are a few.
Thank you so much Jeanette for taking me along on a journey that is part of so many treasured memories I have. Not only did I laugh so much, I made a great new friend!
