Tesselaarsdal. A beautiful valley. 140 Km's out of Cape Town. The last 30 km's over a dirt road. Beetle covered in dust. 500 people, loud bleepy trance music. Fluorescent ufo's and aliens sparkle in the moonlight. Nice foodstalls to fill your tummy. Colourful cushions to sit on, relax, drink and enjoy the view. Plenty of helium balloons around to inhale, they make people forget about the real world for a couple of minutes. And heaps of happy happy people; bare foot, dancing and smiling.
I would never think of me visiting such a party. But I did and I enjoyed it. The music was not too bad at all -although I did miss the guitars so now and again- Such a peaceful setting. No violence or criminality at all. It was a relief not to watch my personal belongings for the weekend. Eventually got a couple of hours of sleep at the backseat of my car, my friend on the frontseat. We woke up, stretched our legs, enjoyed the view and drove off....Back to the real world!
-there's new pics here-
When i saw the Beetle pics I wondered if you realized you bought a car with the steering on the wrong side....

Hey Veerley,
Even though I just spoke to you (thanks to 1601!), I just wanted to say it looks very gorgeous and relaxing. Make sure you don't work too hard, because that's not what you went over there for...:)
I hope to be visiting you in the European summer, would love to experience it all too!
Lots of love, xxNienke
