SOUTH AFRICA & the engagement
Hi there… I have FINALLY uploaded a few pics for your perusal from our recent trip to SA.
We stayed the first few nights at Arathusa, an awesome game park where we saw almost all of the big 5 in our first two game drives so we had an excellent time! LOADS more photos if you click here
Kent proposed on the 2nd night at the game park! (with a little help from a large shot of wurm sour!) More engagement photos, click here IF YOU DARE
We had an absolutely AMAZING time on Safari, then caught up with good friends in Joberg for a night out before flying down to Port Elizabeth to kick off the trip on the Garden Route.
Spent a night at a primo spot in J-Bay overlooking the location for the billabong pro comps. The surf was unreal during our stay & there were dolphins right out front throughout the day!
Had a fabulous time in gorgeous tree house accommodation in Knysna (& met some great new friends), took a tour of the Oyster Farm, visited the Elephant & Monkey parks and generally overindulged (as you do!)
Caught up with other good friends in Hermanus (for a delicious meal!) & watched whales outside our accommodation whilst we ate breakfast, & although enthusiastic, Kent would have much preferred if we had seen the whales during our 3 hour whale watching expedition (well you can’t have it all!)
REALLY loved our time in Franschhoek – overindulged AGAIN! The wine farms were AMAZING (from what I can remember)
Spent our final night in Cape Town before heading back to our Island home…
….and that folks, was our first trip to SA! I hope there will be many more!
Hi Nades
What a lovely romantic man you have. Your holiday photo’s are amazing. I agree with you South Africa is a beautiful place and has so much to see.
My Mum was born in South Africa and bought up in Port Elizabeth, where her Dad was the Mayor of Walmer, and her old family home of St Ives is still there today.
She did her nursing training in Jo Burg before going off to war with the South African army.
My Grand Parents moved to Capetown in their latter years to live in Plumstead with thei youngest son and his wife in a Granny flat.
I spent a lot of my younger years visiting my Grand Parents and travelling around South Africa and up the coast to the Middle East.
