Having this last opportunity to remember with photos this great colonial town created by diamonds, we are feeling sad to leave it. The actual diamond mines are not well remembered from the local conversations we had. We were told that mining ended and was now illegal in the area but the colonial attitudes and celebrations here are still very much alive. We were encouraged by some to come back on specific days to participate in the parades and remembrances.
