Paternoster, South Africa

Paternoster is one of the oldest fishing villages on South Africa's West Coast. Our family took a drive there one afternoon while staying at my in-laws' place in Britannia Bay during our Christmas holiday. Along the beautiful white beach you can see white boulders and white-washed fishermen's cottages, many of which have been turned into tourist accommodation. Against all of the white is a blue sky, blue sea and colorful traditional fishing boats.

I never thought of South Africa having fishing villages. Is there a particular reason for the white theme? Are the houses white because of the white boulders?

Thanks for sharing this for #ExpatTuesday! :D

Just simple homes for the fishermen. I guess the cheapest was to white-wash their homes. ;)

Thanks, Tracy! South African foods are similar to the English/British. It's funny for me being American and being called "English," but I hardly notice anymore. I'm glad you're finding your way around the food labels and what you can eat!

Hello Tina,
thank you for your nice comment on my last Post. I was very surprised to read your very good German sentences.
Now I'm here and enjoyed your Post about Paternoster. I must search this town on Google Maps. Never heared before.

Cheers, Heidrun

Danke vielmals, Heidrun! (Das ist nicht eine tüpische Name. Ich wusste nicht op ich Erica oder Heidrun schreiben sollte.) Ich habe immer ein bischien angst auf Deutsch zu schreiben, weil ich weiss das ich Vehler mache und ich habe kein Zeit alle Wörter im Wörterbuch nach zu schlagen um zu sehen op ich alle Buchstaben richtig geschrieben habe. So thanks for the encouragement! I hope you visit again and leave a link with a comment so that I can easily follow back.
Wishing you a nice week ahead!

It`s okay to make mistakes. I`m sure I write some english sentences wrong too... ;) It`s the way to learn something.

Wish you a good next week!
