Hermanus Pietersfontein and the rocky shores

During by brief stint in Hermanus. I took the took some time to learn something about the town. Aparently it was named after mr Hermanus Pietersfontein, the man who "discovered" it. I can imagine Mr Pietersfontein coming up the hill to "discover" this lovely town by the sea, but I can assure that there must have been people living there and as is the case with history, most of these little facts are ignored. I mean who wants to know about the original people who resided that when you can learn about Pietersfontein right?
Anyway, it is still a lovely town!! With lovely rocky shores as Colleen once commented.
