Where there's a statue there's a pigeon, or two or three, or................let's just say lots more.
Oom Paul does not look amused and nor would I, if I was in his position. But then I guess that goes with the territory, if you happen to be a statue.
We had to go to Pretoria this week to apply for Bulgarian visas in person . What a mission. It cannot be done from a distance, because you have to go through an interview. So we flew to Johannesburg, hired a car and drove to Pretoria, for what amounted to a few questions. I felt quite cheated - I would have liked more of a grilling, for the expense and time it took to get there.
So we had a day to spare and took time out to drive around Pretoria and walk around Church Square where the statue of Paul Kruger is situated. We also stopped off at the Union Buildings, where I took this rather hazy shot with the statue of Louis Botha in the foreground.
Not too long now and we will be spending some time in Turkey and from there we will be going to Bulgaria, for some quality time with our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
