I love travelling at the best of times but passes are the cherry on the top. The Burgers Pass is no exception. Burgers pass is just outside Montagu in the Western Cape.
And it looks like this looking back.
Looking forward, it looks like this. Not too impressive.

Shirley Temple Black who had three careers died today.
She was a child actor, a mother and wife and she was a business woman and diplomat. You don’t get more succesful than that.
I saw a quote of hers that I liked.
“I stopped believing in Santa Claus at the age of six when my mother took me to see him in a store and he asked for my autograph.”
Mind you the other quote, come philosophy that works for me is:
“Some people are stuck on this image of the little girl,” she once said. “She is not me. We shouldn’t live in the past; my life is now.”
I was privileged to attend the Nelson Mandela Memorial Service in Cape Town.
It was humbling and encouraging. We have come so far since 1994. The crowd mourned in unison. I was honoured to be part of that crowd.
