We commemorate our 10th anniversary in Lady Grey. Maud has visited this wondrous mountain village in April 2006 with Nick & Gerhard, and decided she must show Bram one day.
Actually we’re cashing our rain check; it is ten years and a day, because we typically screwed up our party on The Day itself. We book a night in the nicely renovated old hotel, where every room is different, and the party mood is back.
Lady Grey is surrounded by mountains, like a fortress. When we drive to the top of Joubert Pass to look over the village and into Lesotho, we get really close to the snow – Nick already told us we were camping only 70 k’s away from the real winter.
Connected to the hotel is the local bar & restaurant – one look around and you can’t believe it is run by the same people... For the Dutchies: think ‘skihut’ and you have the picture. Like all the other guests we have our meal at the bar while chatting with each other and the locals, and amazing ourselves about the ambience.
