Random thoughts and notes written by my various clients over the years will be posted here. This page remains a work in progress. The French entries have been rewritten by me, and any mistakes are my own – the handwriting is not always that easy to read…!!
I have had the honour to guide various personalities through these battlefields, and below you will find a small measure of their remarks:
“Dear Johann and Michele,
Thank you for a most wonderful stay at History’s Walk B&B and tours. Both my students and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Have a fabulous year ahead and hope to see you again someday.”
Clinton vd Merwe – Wits University.
“Michelle en Johann,
Het heeft ongetwijfelt veel moeite, handearbeid, inspanning en zweet gekost maar het resultaat mag er zijn. De smaak en liefde voor detail is overal aanwezig tot in de steentjies van de douche toe. En top of that hebben wij de gastvrijheid en persoonlijke opvang zeer op prijs gestelt. Wijhebben ten zeerste genoten. De rondleiding in een stukje Zululand was een verheldering.
Dank en gloeiend succes.
Roger en Viviane – 30 Jan. 2007
