Hey everyone,
Hope your all well and had a lovely christmas. We're back in Cape Town and are flying to Bangkok tomorrow to start the Thailand trip so we thought we better update you while the internet is still free!!
On 18th December we flew to Durban where Britt's cousin Devon picked us up and drove us to Pietermaritzburg where he lives. The next day we went up to the Midlands to spend the weekend with Britt's aunt and uncle, Graeme and Natalie. We spent the first evening relaxing next to the infinity pool drinking cocktails. On Sunday they took us to Midmar dam for the day where Graeme and Grant (Britt's cousin) took us water-skiing. Britt went first and after an unsuccessful first attempt turned out to be a bit of a pro! Unlike Harri who had many almosts but never quite got up on her skis! (Despite this neither of us could walk the next day!) However we weren't defeated and were both keen to show our driving skills on the speedboat. Some of us used the 'speed' more than others as Britt was a bit of a granny driver but after Harri had a few near misses with the ducks we decided to head back. We had a lovely time spending the day with them and had lots of fun in the sun.
Then we spent a few relaxing days at the farm with Dave, Steph and Devon (Britt's aunt, uncle and cousin) we headed to Mark and Louises (Britt's other aunt and uncle) for Christmas eve. We braved the christmas eve shops with Ouma (Britt's gran), Ross and Brett. After fighting the crowds for 4 hours we decided to give up and go home. In the evening we went out for a nice christmas eve meal at Pesto's. We also decided to have a christmwas eve sleepover with the boys which we soon regretted at 4:30am when Brett awoke to find Santa had visited.
All the family came over on Christmas day where we had lots of fun opening presents, eating christmas dinner and forcing down shooters. (Thanks Mark!) It was a bit strange to have Christmas day in the sun but it was a really nice day.
On Boxing day we flew back to Cape Town where we have been staying with Mark and Ashleigh again. We've spent the last few days at the beach and chilling round the pool and are ready to leave in the morning. We've just found out our accommodation we booked in Thailand is no longer available and so have spent the last hour frantically searching for somewhere to stay. Just hoping its not still available for a reason! Bangkok here we come!!
