Friday Walkabout

On a beautiful Friday autumn afternoon, a group of volunteers from Aberdeen Publicity and Tourism Office (APTO) continued our walkabout to improve our local knowledge.
First visited was Aberdeen Self Catering where we were met by the owner Frieda Strydom. Everyone was very impressed by the standard of the units.
We then went onto Hunters Lodge, a "bush camp in the town", with very adequate facilities for the huntin'...fishin'...shootin' fraternity. Mr Deon Hurter very kindly showed us around.
Finally to Karoo Moons, Aberdeen's only 4 star guest house, to admire the beautifully appointed rooms and enjoy a fabulous spread of an individual plate of canapés with a choice of wines or flavored water, all hosted by Ernest and Ramsey with their usual panache.
Our next "walkabout" will include the hospital and the old folks home... anyone wishing to join us please visit the ABC Bookshop for further details.
