The Experience
"For holy is hospitality. Humbleness is its crown. Only the humble can be absolutely hospitable. The foundation of all hospitality is meekness and humbleness of heart. In this way the host has more regard for the guest than for himself. He doesn’t regard himself higher than his guest and shrinks away from any sign of superiority."
- Godfried Babbio
It is easy to imagine the activities in the old harbour a hundred years ago. The boats laden with their catch return to the harbour. You can almost hear the fishermen calling out to one another as they haul their fishing boats ashore and above this, the cries of the seabirds ... the sea gulls hovering greedily above the rich load of fish in the dinghies as the crowds on the beach surge forward to begin their haggling over prices with the fishermen.
Fresh fish still has the same allure today and life has not changed much in Hermanus. The fish is still freshly caught.
