Kievits Kroon

Yesterday, I hosted an Information Strategy Symposium at Kievits Kroon Estate, which is an old dutch farm on the outskirts of Pretoria.  We left Johannesburg at 7am and it took 2 hours with traffic to make it to this remote area, which was rather wild looking.  But the farm is now a guest house and conference center and it was lovely.

A Kievits is a small bird with bright red legs.  They nest on the ground and both mother and father guard their nest fiercely.  They chirp at you as you come near and will attack your eyes if you threaten their eggs. 

 The event itself was excellent, though very tiring for me as I was "on" for the entire day and didn't make it back to my hotel until 10pm. Just packing up now to leave for the airport and will blog again from Namibia.
