Fab pics
Great to see the pics - brings back memories of our trip there in 2002! We are just back from whale watching and walking in Plett and Tsitsikamma - friends flew back to the Uk last night. I'm off to Bots on Sat for 2 weeks, can't wait - Moremi, Delta, Savuti and Chobe! and then to France on 5th Sep for a certain rugby match!!(Not sure who I'll be supporting based on current England form, might be an honourary bok!). Even if the rugby isn't great we're looking forward to the vineyards! When are you two in SA?
