\n \u201cK<\/span>YK die aalwyne,\u201d s\u00ea my man, Colin Basson, toe ons laatmiddag by die grondpad na Pabala Privaat Na- tuurreservaat net buite Loerie indraai en di\u00e9 eensaadlobbige vetplant langs die pad opdoem \u2013 honderde van hulle, klein en groot, vorm \u2019n erewag na die plaas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit is egter die groot verskeidenheid fynbos, hul delikate blare en helder oranje speldekussing-blomme onmiskenbaar, wat my aandag trek \u2013 iets wat ek lanklaas gesien het. Links snuif-snuif \u2019n trop beeste in die lug en in die verte roep \u2019n vis-arend sy maat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek verbeel my ek hoor \u2019n bosbok in die klowe blaf . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan verskyn die plaashek van Pabala voor ons \u2013 dit is hier waar ons vir die aand oorbly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maar eers uitklim, die plaashek oop- en toemaak. En die laaste kilometer of twee na die indrukwekkende plattelandse huis aanpak, wat wegkruip tussen die Baviaanskloof- en Kougaberge in die hart van die Gamtoosvallei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Pabala Privaat Natuurreservaat<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eienaar Wernich Cronje kom oor die groot en netjiese houtdek aan-gestap om te groet. Agter hom pronk die kontempor\u00eare Country House in die sagte gloed van die ondergaande son. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die vuur brand reeds . . . vo\u00ebls swiep deur die lug. En jy weet: hier kuier rus en bederf hand-aan-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek vra Wernich uit oor die huis \u2013 eens \u2019n ou plaashuis gele\u00eb op die 1 480 hektaar grond wat in 1906 deur koningin Elizabeth Victoria aan vyf plaaslike soldate gegee is, wat hulle tydens die Anglo Boereoorlog aan die Engelse se kant geskaar het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vier-en-twintig persent van die plaas, die grootste enkeleenheid in die gebied, behoort nog aan die afstammelinge van die oorspronklike eienaars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy glimlag trots: \u201cDie opgeknapte huis weerspie\u00ebl \u2019n moderne atmosfeer met `n klipkaggel, gesellige leerbanke, vyf ruim en weelderige slaapkamers (genoeg slaapplek vir 12 gaste), vyf moderne badkamers, en \u2019n groot kombuis \u2013 jy kan \u00f2f jou eie etes voorberei \u00f2f dit in die hande van \u2019n bekwame gasvrou laat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns mik vir \u2019n egte bederf-ervaring vir ons gaste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En die unieke wit-en-swart foto\u2019s teen die mure? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is alles foto\u2019s van Pabala \u2013 geneem deur familie, vriende en gaste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Prentjiemooi<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons geniet \u2019n koue lafenis op die groot houtdek \u2013 di\u00e9 bied \u2019n asemro-wende uitsig oor die Gamtoos-ri- viermonding wat in die Indiese Oseaan vloei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wernich beduie: \u201cSien julle die bruin kronkelpaaie teen die berg? Dit is die ondergrondse kanaalsi-steem wat jare terug in die gebied aangebring is.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En as jy mooi kyk, sien jy die ou, halfvergete ysterbrug oor die Gamtoosrivier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die brug het \u2019n storie van sy eie. En dit is beslis \u2019n geval van: \u2019n boer maak \u2019n plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Wernich lag: \u201cDi\u00e9 brug, oorspronklik van Bloemfontein, is volgens vertelling deur plaaslike inwoners opgeblaas \u2013 als om die Engelse se planne tydens die destydse Anglo Boereoorlog in die wiele te r<\/span>y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGamtoosvallei-inwoners het van die brug gehoor, en dadelik die stukke gaan haal en teruggebring. Hoe-kom? Hulle het dringend \u2019n brug oor die Gamtoosvallei benodig, maar daar was slegs geld vir treinspore. Probleem opgelos: nou het hulle \u2019n brug en treinspore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behalwe vir \u2019n asemrowende uitsig, spog Pabala met \u2019n verskeidenheid natuurlike wild wat in die gebied voorkom: bosbok, duiker, bloubok, rooikat en bosvark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Ontspan<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Die Saterdagoggend drink ons vir oulaas koffie op die houtdek. Die son kruip stadig oor die berge terwyl vis-arende luidkeels na mekaar roep<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit voel asof jy kilometers buite die stad is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons kuier word een van rus . . . die perfekte manier om ons pap batterye weer te herlaai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan is dit tyd vir huiswaarts keer . . . hopeloos te gou . . ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
