| The Signs Of this Little Book Store In The Karoo Town Of Bedford Caught Our Eyes |
BOOKS AND THINGS! why resist?
 |
| The Serendipity Book Store in Bedford in Donkin Street is situated in a "historical" |
Since there is not too much traffic on the main road of Bedford, stopping right o away on the side of the road is not a problem. The small Karoo town is a rather sleepy place, except on Fridays. The signboard that captured our attention belongs to an old house, 150 years, that has already historical value in South Africa.
"Well it's not like in Europe, where you have houses, that are a thousand years old," the owner explained,"but for here it's a very old lady."

The Karoo has seduced many with their indescribable charm. The open plains, extremely hot in summer and wit icy cold nights in winter have drawn many from the big cities. And so it happened to the owner of this book store, who relocated from Cape Town where she has lived many years to this small village in the Karoo.

"We decided to move to the country and have never regretted it. It's a beautiful place and we have so many gorgeous old houses here. Just drive off the main road and you will see them".
The inside is as interesting as the outside.

"Just be a careful" she says, there is so much dust, I have been away for a while and I just opened the doors today. Lucky us!"
