Where Is Suuranys?


Many have expressed an interest where it was that my "other engagement celebration" took place. It was at a place called Suuranys, here marked with a red/yellow dot at the top of the satellite photo. The photo shows the northern wall of the Langkloof. The yellow line at the bottom traces the scenic Route 62, which traverses the Western and Eastern Cape. At bottom-right is the town Kareedouw (marked with an A). Jeffrey's Bay is a well known location off the right of this image. Then notice the thin line -- a spectacular dirt pass -- that climbs the "wall" from the hamlet Assegaaibos just to the right of Kareedouw. The name of the pass is also Suuranys.

Nice, looks like runes on the wall!

Runes? Don't feed the runor-mill. :-) There have been various suggestions as to what magic there might have been, although all I know of is hymns and prayers -- and a wonderful feast.
