Visiting Oz That sounds fabulous. Any chance you can come to Sydney during that time? If so, let me know when it would suit you and we can work out some dates when you can come and stay with us. M xx
Visiting oz Yes it would be good to see you both. Still in process of sorting out our itinerary. Thanks for the offer to stay. We will e mail you later. We are travelling air China via Beijing so we have a slight concern regarding Coronavirus x
Have some Madeira my dear! Sounds like a fabulous family holiday to celebrate Kevin's birthday. Such beautiful scenery too and what looks like perfect weather. xx
Hi Michelle. Great cruise and Madeira is a beautiful island. Hope your both keeping well.
We are in Australia mid March to mid April. Will e mail you. X
The smoke that thunders! Some wonderful experiences that you have been having. A tad different to life in Yorkshire!! It looks to be just magic. How long were you away for?
We were on holiday for 3 weeks. I transfer my photos from the camera to a computer at home then spend time reliving the holiday and gradually writing the blogs. The South Africa trip was certainly a holiday of a lifetime. We hope there will be a few more yet! Hope you are both keeping well.
Great Expectations Obviously not all premium class train journeys are up to the same standard! Never mind. That's part of the fun of travel; taking whatever happens and enjoying it even if it wasn't quite what we'd been led to believe!
Cape Town's water shortage From your description of Cape Town's water shortage things must have been pretty serious. Never mind; on the whole we probably use water too sparingly anyway so it would have been a good lesson.
I've never been to South Africa. Is this your first visit there? It certainly looks an interesting place to visit and so great to get the whole family together. What a bonus!
When are you coming back to Sydney? M xx
South africa I did a weeks work some years ago in Queenstown and also visited Joburg. For everyone else it was a first time visit. Wonderful scenic country but there is big gap between rich and poor and there is a safety risk. More blogs to follow on South Africa, Botswana and Zambia! Hope to visit Martin n Gemma next year in Brisbane and would be good to see you in Sydney.
Happy Birthday Val!! Wow! Sixty years young Val...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! So I must have been 14 yers old when you were born; cant imagine being 14 again.
Your Knysna Airbnb looks great. Was it as good inside as it looks on the outside?
Lots of love to all. M xx
A good time being had by all!! Thanks for your great photos! Good to see that the weather is behaving well for you. Is this your first trip to South Africa? M xx
Monument at Pantano de Vargas This is the most impressive and moving monument I have ever seen. Together with the story of Rondon's Lanceros and the British Legion in the battle, it moved me to tears. What men!
Happy New Year! Good to see you both enjoying another travel adventure! Lovely photos. We have my baby sister Charlotte and brother-in-law John with us at the moment. Bit of a heatwave here so they're ngo ing to find it very hard going back to the cold of the UK. M xx
