Surprise!


Friday January 20 we are at the airport again to pick up Iwan, who’ll be staying for the weekend. A real surprise visit; he suddenly has time in between being in Johannesburg and an assignment in Port Elizabeth. As a photographer of mainly architecture Iwan travels all over the world, and rarely stays anywhere more then 2 nights.


Internet at the bush office...


Saturday the neighbours happen to throw a braai – watch that meat babe!

Picture time.


To show our surroundings, Bram took Iwan for a little tour around the neighbourhood. Now what typical things can you show in a couple of hours? A bit of Morwa of course. A bit of Mochudi, a way bigger village where we started our ‘living in Botswana’. A visit to Moemedi, an old student of Bram during his first Botswana period, 1978-1982.


At Seretse Khama International Airport to drop off Iwan. Bram met Iwan at work years ago, and then discovered he’s sort of related to Maud; the sister to his grandmother was married to Maud’s great-uncle, and the brother to his grandmother was married to Maud’s great-aunt. His great-grandfather was the Dutch painter Zoetelief Tromp, in whose farm in France Maud spend many summer and Xmas holidays.
