Hermanus

The Sister Sojourner Retreat "officially" began at Volmoed Center located just outside Hermanus.


View from my window at retreat center outside Hermanus. Many vineyards and fruit farms line the countryside in this area of South Africa. (The retreat accommodations were great IF you weren’t looking for luxury rooms, TV and high speed (or any speed!) internet hookup!)

I did not take this photo. It's from an online site, but will give you an idea of the beautiful Hermanus coastline,
an area famous for whale watching. The last two mamma whales and their calves moved to other waters just two days before we arrived. Bummer!
