This morning we were briefed by Cobus on the tour we were going on and he told us all of the stuff.
Safety of the passengers is very important.
Everything on the vehicle must be checked before going on the tour like the oil,water,tire pressure etc.
We were all very excited.
Our 1st stop was the Information centre-we looked at the inside and Cobus briefed
us about how the centre is run and that it is run privately.We departed at 9:36 am
The 2nd stop was the Sondela Fun seekers....we arrived at 9:42
They showed us where it was located and told us a bit of what they are doing.
The 3rd stop was the grave yard where the the famous ''voortrekker'' Andries Pretorius's wife is buried-Christina Pretorius.
The 4th stop was the African Market.
we arrived there at 10:07 and departed at 10:15
We learned that people from kenya,Zimbabwe and other African Lands come to sell their stuff they made.
They have all kinds of stuff like carved animals from wood and all kinds of nice folded wire stuff like crosses etc.
The 5th stop was the block house.
It was build by English forces to protect the railway nearby it.
It was manned by 7 people.
It consists of 3 levels.
The 6th stop was the silos.
The silos is run by NTK.
There is 5 small silos and 7 big silos.
they are 45m in height.
The railway past the silos goes through to Zimbabwe.
And last but not least, we went through the township.
The township is nice,the people is very friendly and social.
There is nice Taverns that play good Jazz music.
The whole tour was a great experience,and it was lots of fun.Learned a lot!!!
