1 down, 1 to go...

friends and family sharing sunny skies, 

a pineapple, a pinotage and pie (or two),

black labels, biltong and wood braais,

our 1st week in SA has flown by!

(sorry, nothing rhymes with the GP number plates on our rental)

Cape Town is a city of  colourful emotion and excitement.

After arriving in CPT and a quick dash through Cavendish (a final attempt to find rings) we headed off down the coast heading for Keurbooms. First stop Mossel Bay.

"da is net twee dinge..." and this is the third and its called mossel bay.

mossels always delivers: offshore, empty but seals and a racy inside section at outer pool.

We spent most of this week finalizing arrangements for the big day, choosing flowers, vows and wine. Thinking that everything would go according to plan would have been foolish. But still we were surprised when we discovered that our beach venue for the ceremony simply wasn't. It had been washed away by a storm several weeks before, not particularly convenient...

yes, it wasn't difficult choosing Plett as the scene for the crime: welcome to paradise!

Despite being early summer, the south coast has been lit up by a series of low pressure fronts, bring cranking surf down the coast. So in between planning we have been rewarded with a couple of cooking sessions around Plett.

sometimes the grass is greener: an empty peak cries for friends, and we gladly answer.

everyone said saturday, and for once they were mostly correct.

So 1 more week to go...

life in the fast lane: enjoying sunnies at the end of the day.
