Weekend in Pine Haven


Last weekend we went to say in Pine Haven, near Krugersdorp, at Tamara`s family. They came to pick us up on Thursday. On Friday we went to Gold Riff City, where we went into a mine and into rollercoasters. On Saturday we went to Soweto where we visited the house of Nelson Mandela, where he lived before he went to prisson. We also stopped at the Hector Peterson Museum, which was especially founded because he was the first child that was murdered during the peaceful uprising against the Apartheid regime. It was very interesting and shocking to see what happened that day and how the police just started using guns against the children. We also saw the place where the stadion is being built for the World Championship: they are actually building it in Soweto, the most criminal part of the country, but I think it might be a good thing because the government will be forced to do something about the situation in this area. After our visit to Soweto, we had a braai and a little party at the house of Tasch and Mark, we al got really drunk and they really liked the song Rood of Marco Borsato so we played it ten times or something! On Sunday we were supposed to go to church so Tamara and I were ready at 9.30, but the others had hangovers and weren`t in time to go so we are going next time we`ll visit them! On Monday we drove back to Potch with Naudene, at 5.45, it was very early so when we got home we went for a jog and went back to bed!
