Darling is a lovely little village which is only a one-hour drive from Cape Town. All you have to do is follow the coast road on the R27 and stop when you are surrounded by vineyards and cornfields. It's "old world" enough to riders trot through the streets and geese waddling from house to house to have. But it also has many modern amenities to urban people are looking for a quiet weekend getaway to satisfy. The biggest attraction to Darling, but not theirexquisite array of wild flowers and its rich cultural heritage. The biggest attraction is Evita se Perron.

Situated at the Darling Station is South Africa's most famous satirist Pieter-Dirk Uys's tongue in cheek homage to apartheid in South Africa. The station is run by his best-known creation, also know as the most famous white woman in South Africa, Evita Bezuidenhout. It keeps the kitchen collection of memorabilia of the apartheid in his museum and a restaurant / theater. TheRestaurant serves traditional dishes and Afrikaans, if in the country, Tannie (Auntie) Evita a 90-strong volume in their inimitable way their care.

One of the other attractions in the legendary Evita se Perron is the humorous Boerassic Park, the fun at the dubious history in South Africa lies. Boer is the Afrikaans word for farmer. The park was expanded in 2003 and now includes an interpretation of the Gravy Train made by students at the Cape Technicon. Of concrete, theTrain shows a smiling Nelson Mandela as a motor, manfully dragging the young democracy behind him. President Thabo Mbeki's new president on his airplane, DA leader – Tony Leon – it's in a baby stroller and threw his toys out of him – Alan Boesak convicted of embezzlement or affirmative accounting – draws a ball and chain, and Winnie Mandela – convicted their role in the kidnapping and murder of a 13-year-old child, performed by members of the Mandela Football Club – in a bath with one foot ina soccer boot just visible.

Evita stands on her platform and waves goodbye to the passengers of the train. Nearby, Eugene Terrblanche, leader of the staunch right wing party, the AWB, has fallen off his horse and lies blind drunk and forgotten on the railway tracks. The monument, and the rest of the station, serves as a reminder that despite political quagmires, we have the right to relax and laugh and appreciate our countries for what they are. We should all believe in the basic Principle of democracy that is being followed to lead people and the politicians.

Tannie Evita is not only famous in South Africa, it is a symbol, wherever it goes in the world. As proof, she was recently given the Living Legacy Award 2000 for their contribution to the position of women in the last century. " It is organized by the International Women's Center, Evita, the humor and positive energy in the amount of the contributions of other major public figures, such as the mother as a givenTeresa.

Evita Bezuidenhout is an institution in South Africa. The people and the politicians love them despite their tendency to be ridiculously politically incorrect, yet razor-sharp images in their comments. In her new play, "Only the Europeans," she notes, "We (the white people in South Africa) do not want any worldly goods such as diamonds and gold. We just want aesthetic things – like cheap servants." In order to enjoy its unique biting humor, Evita se Perron is the ultimate experience. The short drive through theWest coast is worth it.
