Aha! We have a solid internet connection again!
Our weekend was amazing--a true African experience.
We traveled with Jeanetta and Gary (a very full and noisy car!) sightseeing along the way to Naboomspruit (2 hours without all of our stops). This is an African "small town"...from there we drove about half an hour into the Bush. We found a gate announcing the game farm, then drove further into what seemed like the end of the earth. (Gert met us later in the evening.)
Then...like a vision sat one of the homes of Elise and Sollie. They welcomed us with open arms and were incredibly generous the whole weekend. We lived in luxury, ate like royalty and spent Saturday driving across their beautiful property looking for sightings of the exotic African animals they breed.We saw so many animals it is hard to remember all of their names!
The kids swam in a dam with a waterfall--the highlight of the whole trip for them!
Unfortunately for Kahee he fell out of bed Friday night and did a face plant on the floor. This meant a fat lip, bloody nose and a fair bit of drama. Good heavens! Now his nose and lip match his funky eye!
We had a successful visit to the U.S. Consulate yesterday and it feels incredibly good to be done with all of our paperwork.
Today we pack and relax...tomorrow we head to the airport. Hard to believe we are going to be coming home--and that it will be five of us! We can't wait!!!
More photos to come...
