Tour of SA 2007


We are all very relieved to be back home, sleeping in our own beds and recovering from the jet lag!
The Horans had a great trip. We arrived in Jo'burg (to be greeted by a traffic jam at Gilloolys!), and headed for Mom's and a visit to Mike, the only dentist we trust. Then we had a wonderful catch up with everyone at Bren and Hayley's place on the Saturday. It is quite frightening to see how these Rhodents are multiplying and producing the most beautiful offspring (pity about the parents!). Sunday we had a wonderful lunch with the Caveney crew (to increase to 5 on th 16th April).




After tearing around Jo'burg we headed down to Dullstroom to the most perfect spot - see www.elandsvalley.co.za. Mike and Willma joined us there along with the other Horan clan. It is superb for kids with a tree house, toy boxes, books etc. The staff could not have been more amazing making us freshly baked bread and bringing Dave champagne for his birthday. Dad and Liz also joined us for a night and helped us sing Happy Birthday to Dave 'just one more time'. I am not sure how many times we blew the candles out either but Josh and Tayla had much more fun than all of us put together. The 2 of them got along really well which was great - may it continue in the years haead.


The down to Kaapsehoop for Dad and Liz's wedding which was great. A wonderful time to catch up with many old family friends - nobody has aged at all! I think we all had a really great party and Dad and Liz had a great time.

After this much awaited wedding, we head to the Kruger for 2 nights and then back to Nellies for 4 more nights, spending time with family and friends along the way. We were pretty lucky in the park, only really missing the leapards and cheetahs.
We are all home now and dying for the summer to join us, it is seaking through slowly, but I want it to shine!
Keep in touch and come and visit.
