EPISODE NINE: Surviving the Deep Landmark
-
- Documentary
I've been digging into the archives to find this story again - the one I usually reference as a Good Story told by a true raconteur.
I'd met him in the Cederberg Mountains, Western Cape, where he was overseeing the maintenance of an accommodation site.
He'd arrived in South Africa en route a Commonwealth Games event, having sailed from St Helena island (where Napoleon Bonaparte had been banished) and had stepped off the ship at the foreshore in Cape Town. Within hours he'd met the woman he was going to marry...
The intriguing story you hear is told as I'm checking out of the above accommodation - he'd told it to me over dinner and promised to tell me again when I had my mic handy!
I often think about it because there are so many questions still. If this was a hard-nosed journalistic quest, I may have pushed beyond diplomacy. You'll probably have some of the same questions. Please let me know what they are! Contact via: https://www.facebook.com/LandmarkPodcast
