Victoria West (2)

Image
After a drive to a monument just outside of Victoria West we parked the car in Church Street and went for a walk.   We stopped at St John’s Church, the Anglican Church designed by Sophy Gray (I will do a whole post about it later)   We walked in the direction of the Dutch Reformed Church and saw some beautiful old buildings.   The Town Hall with some Cape Dutch Style gables was opened in 1911.   The building is a National Heritage Site. Rev Colin Fraser started to hold church services.   In 1843 the congregation was established and they named the town Victoria after Queen Victoria.   The church was completed in 1850.   The tower was added later and it was enlarged in 1922.   It is a National Heritage Site.

St Mark’s Cathedral, George

Hello everyone, I was very excited to visit St Mark’s Cathedral in George.  I have passed t his building in my hometown hundreds of times but have never even entered the gate.  And I knew very little about this cathedral’s history.  Then in 2012 H and I started to visit churches designed by Sophy Gray.  When I learned that St Mark’s was one of them I really wanted to visit .   We went for a walk to explore some of George’s old buildings in January this year.  (Read more here , here and here )  The church ground was open when we reached it, but visiting hours for the inside was over.  So we will have to do that on another day.   George was one of the towns where the government placed a Colonial Chaplain for the English community.  He used the Dutch Reformed church for services but in 1848 collections were started to build a church.  In February 1848 Bishop Gray arrived in the Cape.  His wife Sophy lai...

Eyewitness Travel Guides – A Book Review

  Last month I wrote a book review and I enjoyed it.   Today I want to share some more of my favourite travel books.   DK Eyewitness Travel Guides I bought my first travel guide in 2008. I was planning a trip with my friend Lelanie to London and Europe.   While planning the trip I bought the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Europe and I paid R 282.00 for it.   Except for my university textbooks, this was the most expensive book I have ever bought for myself.    We were doing a Contiki Tour and visited 7 countries.   I studied the information in guide the about the cities we would visit.    I made lists of places I want to see and then looked for more information about them.   In the end I did not take the guide with me (the 800 pages was just to heavy to carry along) but packed all my lists to use.  At Departures at Cape Town Airport in 2008 My second guide was for the same trip.   The Eyewitness Trave...
