The town is quiet!

[Cherry (Alcock)]

That's it - The Coral Lounge!  Amazing that in the middle of the day, the pub was full of kids from Oranjemund and no-one did a thing about it - all the fresh-faced "kids" lurking - good times!

In the 80's there was a group of Oranjemund School Kids, that were meant to connect at DF Malan Airport to go to East London to go to school at Port Rex, Queenstown and Dale College..... Needless to say they landed up in the SKyways Pub at the airport, got pissed and missed their flight....... Needless to say, the shit hit the fan......  Only Oranjemund School kids....

School Flights, we would always sneak into that Pub in the Railway Station, opposite the green Train Display..

There is still one of those Old style Stores in the Strand , called Friedmann&Cohen!

We used to go to the spur order a plate of chips to get our beers we also got the hostel to collect our bags from the station

It is a lot quieter these days, even that people have returned, there is less people chatting as they walk down the streets...... and one can hear that there is a lot less traffic on our roads up here...

Silence is golden.......

Wait till you come back to work - then you'll see how quiet the town really is! I get excited when I see more than 3 customers in the shop at once actually buying something!

[Michael Alexander]

Were the three customers clubbing in together to buy a can of coke?

      

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

No, that was too expensive, they had to club together to be able to buy one stokkie lekker (lollipop)!

Ha ha  -  that's about how empty my pockets are after the holiday.    I think I must go talk to the manager at Shoprite to find out if I can open an account to buy groceries  ......   

[Michael Alexander]

Aunty can open an account at Oranjemund SPar!
