South Africa. Hermanus
South Africa. Hermanus
This year we were "honored" to visit the Balfour family summer house in Hermanus
We came to Hermanus for the first time and I remember and will never forget the impressions I had after visiting Hermanus beach. The town is located at a distance of 115 km from Cape Town.
A little historical background:
The city is named after the postman who opened it and the town originally bore a very long name - Hermanus Peters Fontaine, then the name was shortened. Now this is a place for whale watching and I will come back here with you more than once, I promise!
We arrived in Hermanus in the evening and Neil, the father of our daughter's husband, offered us to drive to the beach immediately. I have already told you about the tradition of seeing off the sun- sundown.
The picture before us was absolutely incredible. The huge beach stretching for many kilometers was flooded with sunlight making it completely milky yellow. This was facilitated by the effect of the champagne air. Thousands of billions of spray of the ocean surf made the radiance palpable. Many very friendly people walked along the beach, greeted each other as is customary here and it was real magic that I will never forget. Later in my life, there were other beaches and other impressions, but it was so. I don't have photos of this moment, but I hope you can imagine it.

Херманус
В этом году мы были «удостоены чести» посещения летнего домика семейства Балфур в Херманусе
Мы первый раз приехали в Херманус и я помню и никогда не забуду впечатления, которые у меня осталось после посещения пляжа Хермануса.
Городок находится на расстоянии 115км от Кейптауна.
Небольшая историческая справка: Город назван в честь почтальона открывшего его и городок первоначально носил очень длинное имя- Херманус Питерс Фонтейн, затем название укоротили. В настоящее время это место для любителей наблюдать за китами и я еще не раз буду возвращаться с вами сюда, обещаю!
Мы приехали в Херманус уже под вечер и Нил, отец мужа нашей дочери предложил нам сразу же подъехать на пляж. Я уже рассказывала вам о традиции провожать солнце. Открывшаяся перед нами картина была абсолютно прекрасно невероятна. Огромный тянущийся на много км пляж был залит солнечными лучами делающих его совершенно молочно желтым. Этому способствовал эффект шампанского воздуха. Тысячи миллиардом брызг океанского прибоя делала сияние осязаемым. Множество очень дружески настроенных людей гуляли по пляжу, здоровались, как принято здесь друг с другом и это было настоящим волшебством, которое я никогда не забуду. Позже в моей жизни появились и другие пляжи и другие впечатления, но это было так. У меня нет фотографий этого момента, но я надеюсь вы сможете его вообразить.
