Ellyphants.

http://fhaloanmichigan.org/beence.php June 26th.

avoidably We made it to Graaff-Reinett, a pretty little town in the Karoo. We are staying at a lovely bed and breakfast, where we were greeted with a glass of sherry and shown to our big four-poster bed. I’m in the tub now. As usual the place is empty, though it’s Friday night and we were told school holidays begin today, and accommodation would be harder to find. We get the impression that no one in the country is travelling.

Our host is quite an interesting man, with an accent utterly different from other South African accents we have heard: he is from Durban. He says “ellyfont” for elephant. He owned a sugar-farm in Natal, before retiring and moving into the Bed-and-Breakfast business.
