 <\/p>\n

Caitlin, the heroine of Touched to the heart<\/em>, lives and works in Hermanus, South Africa. Don inherited a house from an uncle of his and he visits Caitlin\u2019s physiotherapy rooms in Hermanus.<\/p>\n

Way back when, Hermanus used to be a small fishing village but over the last few of decades it has morphed into a bustling town, bursting at the seams over weekends and holidays.<\/p>\n

Futunately, some things haven\u2019t changed and when I thought of possible dates Don could\u00a0take Caitlin on, these are\u00a0a few things I think any heroine would enjoy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take her to see the Old Harbour<\/li>\n
  2. Watch the whales in September<\/li>\n
  3. Go for a leisurely lunch to one of the many wine farms in the Hemel and Aarde Valley (Heaven and Earth).<\/li>\n
  4. Take her on a hike in the Fernkloof Mountains \u2013 a magical place<\/li>\n
  5. Take her to watch the waves at Kwaaiwater (angry water) where the waves are enormous and the sound deafening.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
