Kowie River Guest House

Last November, I had a memorable trip to a lovely small town on the shore of the Indian Ocean - Port Alfred, Republic of South Africa. The trip became even more wonderful for me because I was lucky enough to choose to stay at Kowie River Guest House. In fact, the booking to stay here was made by my son in advance on Agoda, and I knew absolutely nothing about it. When I arrived, I was quite surprised to be greeted by an elderly man with silver hair who looked nice. It turned out that in the entire Kowie River Guest House, I only met the owner and his wife, Mr. Graham and Mrs. Ditte Humphrey. Since I am a full-time vegetarian, I asked my hostess to prepare breakfast for me and she cooked me delicious breakfasts. At this point I have to tell everyone that Mr. and Mrs. Graham and Ditte Humphrey are very careful people and worry about me, who is an amateur photographer, and if I go out, I may encounter unsafe things when I go out. going into unnecessary parts of town. My grandparents gave me a room that I really liked, because it was quiet and didn't get too much sunlight in the afternoon. Thanks to that, I can sleep very well every night without experiencing the phenomenon in our country called "home strangeness" - when you sleep somewhere other than your home, you will find it difficult to sleep. Every early morning, around 6 o'clock, I often walk on the riverbank and then sit and watch the water of the Kowie River. One particularly interesting thing is that I am surrounded by many lovely neighbors like the owners of Kowie River Guest House. I have had the opportunity to get to know many of them. In the afternoon, I often go to the riverbank, sit on a stone bench and watch the sun gradually descend on the distant hills across the river. Because it was a bit cold for someone from a tropical country like me, I didn't have a chance to try out the swimming pool at Kowie River Guest House or sunbathe on the wooden deck around it. Because I went alone, I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the barbecue party (as a vegetarian, I will watch and have fun with everyone, that's enough) but I'm sure, if you come here you will enjoy it. Enjoy a wonderful party on the riverbank, then if you like, lie on the grass, listening to the singing of the passengers on the yacht swimming past in front of you. The time I stayed at Kowie River Guest House was only a week, but I quickly got used to the Black-crowned night herons still wandering around looking for food, and they also considered me a friend. The fifth day at Kowie River Guest House left me with a memorable incident - I had an unfortunate accident and thanks to it, I realized I have two relatives, two friends that I love very much now. them, that's my Graham and Ditte. Thanks to them, I still want to return to South Africa many times. I remember the white teeth on the faces of my black friends who smiled at strangers and greeted them politely. Saying goodbye to Port Alfred, I felt lucky to have set foot in this beautiful seaside town: the boats were rowing in the harbor, the tree-lined streets
