A Wonderful Wedding in Tofo Beach



We crossed into Mozambicque at Komatiepoort and travelled up to Tofo Beach for Heather and Don's wedding. The roads in Moz are still very bad - potholed or simply no tar left at all - and travelling is very slow. We arrived with the Champagne about half an hour before the start of the Hen Night! The wedding was celebrated at Mango Beach, and was just wonderful.

Southern Kruger





Our African adventure began with a few days in the Kruger Park. We settled into the off-road caravan, which Neil has nicknamed Che, so easily.We saw plenty animals and got back into our birdwatching.

Farm Fun






Back in SA we have spent time in Joburg, at Zebula and at Maizefield. Neil renovated our bar at the farm and we had a good roof wetting party. We are always busy and between the socialising, we catch up on admin, chores, maintenance and trip planning.
Nick and Sue visited Maizefield in their helicopter and Max got some good photos of the farm from the air!

Bali






We spent two weeks in Bali. At first, a few days in Legian at the Oc-en Outrigger with the Eves. We did a lot of shopping with Madeleine and enjoyed some great restaurants. We then headed up to Ubud to meet Tommy and Mandy. We stayed at the Honeymoon Guest House, which has gorgeous gardens and traditional Balinese style rooms. Of course, we love the Spa treatments in Ubud; couples massages, with body wraps of yogurt and spices as if you are a marinating tandoori chicken, followed by a leisurely soak in a bath full of flower petals.
We drove north to Pembertan to dive at the Menjangan National Park and then back to Ubud via Sundra and the rice paddies.
