Durban - Saturday

We are now in SA and what a pleasure to have a decent Internet connection that does not drop out. I changed the wireless connection at the house to have security and I am sure there are a bunch of people in the Kloof area that will have to start paying for their connection...

It is fairly daunting to read about a finger puppet called Al, that has the ability to blog coherently, post amazing pictures and allow comments. We do realise that he is in Spain and is doing more than slothing and eating.

Jen is delighted to be in the family again. We had the ubiquitous braai last night with the entire family except for Steve and Noodle.



This little guy insisted on visiting us at our rooms - but he was very hard to capture on camera as he never stopped jumping. Talk about ADD!



















This was the final supper at the resort. Tulsi was the manager at the bar and looked after all of us with dedication, humour and efficiency.

These clothes might appear fancy, but I am still itching!
All evidence of a flat stomach have disappeared {sigh}.
Breakfast in Kloof. Another tropical Paradise. Jane is really going out of her way to make sure we are being fed in the manner to which we become accustomed.
Audrey and I decided that we have a "desert stomach" that can always take another helping.
I did play squash with Lance yesterday, so at least my body did get the idea that its only purpose was not to consume food.
Cousins catching up.
Nick cant be live the cost of things in SA. Smokes are less than $2 a packet and the biltong/beer is wonderful and affordable.

This is Dad.
I am yery envious of the cheap beer and biltong Nick is enjoying. Have you tried the droewors? I find it tastier than the biltong.
Love to all.

Well no we have not tried the droewors. The biltong is so cheap and delicious I have not noticed it. But we will keep an eye out, although heavens knows we have enough food!
