Gees - people can be critical. Heaven help them if they ever come to Africa to go on a wilderness trail where they sleep in a Kraal, or go on the Karoo Pilgrimage and sleep in a Bushman's hut!It was already two years ago, but he was the worse thing of the way

I stopped for the night at the refugio at San Bol this time last year and a lovely young Dutch woman -- named Naisa, I think -- was the hospitalera. She hoped to stay semi-permanently and had plans for some improvements. I've often wondered if she was still there and, if so, how things were going for her. Has anyone been there lately?
From reading other posts, I think I am not the only person who is overwhelmed with memories and nostalgia as the one year anniversaries of my stays in various places and first meetings with other pilgrims roll by. I am so happy to still be in touch with several of these fellow pilgrims. And how I wish I were able to be planning another pilgrimage soon!
Buen camino to all,
Martha
