Couchsurfer all the way from Colombia


About 3 weeks ago, 19-year-old music student Lia Macana arrived at our house at 2am. (from Cape Town by bus ...)
      Her visit was off to a rocky start when I missed a proper night's sleep and had to drive her to the Kragga Kamma Wildlife reserve shortly after sunrise. She thought there would be a municipal bus service!
      Fortunately I was back to normal soon and her 4-night visit proved to be informative and uplifting.
                                         At the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum
                                                          Visiting the Lorimer Hall where
                                                         traditional clothing was explained

                        In the foyer of the small exhibition hall next to the Willie Bester sculpture
                                                        Being a vegan, Lia enjoyed the
                                                              smoothie at Kindred

                                                On the Donkin with Nelson Mandela

                                                        
                                                    Appreciating the giant mosaic

                                Making South American Arepa ("mieliepap pancakes") in our kitchen

                                                                  With Kia in the kitchen
