I visited Pretoria, Cullinan and Irene today. First stop was at Paul Krugers house then on to Cullinan. I saw the "Great Star of Africa" on the sceptre and the "Lesser Star of Africa" on the Crown at the Tower of London. They were made from the largest diamond found at Cullinan (over 3106 crts) Cullinan is a quaint town that has a working steam train seen in action here. It cost me R10 to have a personalised tour of the museum there. This welsh woman was my guide. She is holding a replica of the Cullinan Diamond. The hole is 4 times bigger than Kimberly's (about 1km long and half km wide) but was not hand made so is not as famous. The Italian Prisoners of war painted murals on the walls at the club during the 2nd world war.
At Irene I visited the diary farm and watched the cows being milked then visited Jan Smuts house. On the way home I decided to get a local modern photo of this graffitti coach and its passenges. They were delighted to pose for me. I will try getting more "local" folk photos.
