Well our last full day in south Africa was full of rain...... but at 21 degrees the blow was softened and breaking us into the UK weather gently :-(

We discovered the largest shopping mall in the Southern hemisphere....with the largest rock climbing wall I've ever seen and a surfing wave machine..... different..... bag purchased to fit all our extras in..... only debate is swiss air luggage allowance.... first class is 40kg.... but our tickets say 20kg?.... mmm website says it could cost us upto $800 in excess charges :-( will have to have best smiles and sweet talking......

Al has been reading the local rag and noting that President Zuma of South Africa was today marrying his 5th wife..... headlines reads...'"Big bed arrives on eve of zuma nuptials"'..... and the cartoon reads...''i think the country should have an anti-nuptial contract with Zuma..... no more nuptials while he should be concentrating on governing the country!'" best bit is he is already engaged to his 6th wife to be....and her family have already presented umbondo (gifts) to the Zuma family...

Al is saving up for his next wife..... but is still outstanding the 11 cows to his in laws for the last one!!

Well South Africa has been awesome, words can't describe the holiday we've had.....the scenery, the food, the wine, the hospitalty, the scary experiences,oh and the wedding.....but I'm sure 3000 plus piccy's and videos will help the memories stay alive....we shan't forget it in a hurry.......... It truley is a world in one country and we will definately be back once we've saved and dieted!

Lots of love, over and out!
