Mariannhill Monastery Coins
A few months ago I took an overseas visitor to our local Mariannhill Monastery, situated close to my home. I’ve made arrangements to visit their very interesting Museum, where I took some photographs of a coin that was dug up years ago which was found very close to the surface of the soil.
I secretly believed that a sailor walking on the KZN beach must have dropped it there by accident there. I have the feeling that many years ago Pinetown and surrounding areas were the then KZN beaches and the other low-lying areas of Durban were covered by the sea, as I have found over the years whilst digging in my garden, shells usually found on beaches there.
If anyone is visiting me from another area, I like to take my visitor to the Mariannhill Monastery, which has many interesting sites to see and a few enjoyable hours can be spent there for very little monetary outlay. This short trip to the Monastery also reduces my carbon footprint as well. My frugal tip is to become a local tour guide to your visitors or family visiting you by first getting to know your town/city well enough to make it interesting to your visitors too.
