First Weeks in Joburg

It would have been surprising if we hadn't hit the ground running!We have been enjoying the parties, dinners, braais, wine and whisky tastings; as well as great Bokke rugby victories. It is good to catch up with friends and family. We can have a good time in Joburg like in no other city I know!

A few weeks in the UK

We spent nearly a month in London and the UK. It was great to catch up with family and lots of friends. Of course, the weather was cold and wet all the time but the company and hospitality from everyone was wonderful. We enjoyed rediscovering London; it's theatre, restaurants and art galleries. Uncle's 40th birthday party was great.We visited Yorkshire with Paul and Nikki and spent a few days in Cardiff with Nick and Karen. A highlight was watching the Bokke beat the Welsh at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff.

Homer heads home

From the Spanish coast we drove through France via the Rhone Valley and Dijon and through Switzerland and Germany to Munich. After a few more days at the Camping Site in Munich, we drove Homer out to a farm, where it is safely stored until next summer.

Costa Brava and the Dali Triangle

The Costa Brava can get a bad rap but we found some very nice quiet parts, good beaches and great views. It is a little quieter than in high season, I guess. We got our surrealistic fix, visiting Dali's Theatre Museum in Figueras, Dali's beach house in Port Ligat and Gala's castle near Girona.
