Rain in Bethlehem falls mainly ...

We awoke in a tiny Free State dorp of Clarens with mist shrouding the mountains and a steady mot reen falling. Well I have to practice die taal wanner ek heir is. Anyway we headed for Bethlehem which was only about 30km away but Google Maps wanted to direct us via the other Bethlehem somewhere over the rainbow in Israel. The Photographer's Festival was a tremendous success despite the rain and best of all; I met such lovely people down there in the Free State that we left as friends. I better start brushing up on my Afrikaans.
