Ballito to Johannesburg to Malelane
26 July
As we have a long drive today we were up at sparrow, packed & on the road. We made a short diversion to drop off cots then back on the motorway. The weather has cleared and was gorgeous & sunny. The Drakensburg glittered with snow in the background (brrrrr) and we arrived in Johannesburg on time. We had a great evening catching up on 30 years of happenings with Laurie & Fi ( her & I went to school together).
27th July
Such excitement for us as we head over to OT airport to meet Gen from London.
Friends Clive & Aileen & Angela & Martin arrived too so after breakfast we hit the road & proceeded to Malelane. Gen took to driving Pumba like a duck to water and we arrived at our gorgeous destination to a wonderful house Khandiswa. It's purpose built for a large group so we have our favorite people with us. It's superbly located on the Crocodile River. The crocs are plentiful & large. At various times we spot hippos, bushbuck & buffalo.
We had a great braai & enjoyed our surroundings.
28 July
It was another stunning day so after putting final touches on birthday arrangements at Rio Vista hotel we simply enjoyed the house & animals, watched Joseph & the twins in the pool, welcomed Bill & Judy from UK and so another day in Africa surrounded by family & friends, good food & fun slipped by. An unexpected treat was seeing white rhino in the neighbours spotlight just before going to bed.
