I went into Stellenbosch on Friday afternoon looking for a few items : food for the house, printer paper and ink .. and the house needs a new washing machine. The old one has been at it for 15 years and finally broke down completely.
A lot of these businesses are found along Bird Street here in Stellenbosch, so that’s where I went. There is also a suburb called Onder Papegaaiberg (‘Lower Parrot Mountain’) here .. with the nickname Voëltjiesdorp (hard to translate, something like ‘Little Birdy Town’).
