We flew there with "Zu" & "Bumpa" (My Dad and Sue) and stayed with my brother Mike and his two lovely daughters, Donna & Kayla. Other cousin, Maya was there too and David was fawned over by his girl cousins like he was a prince.
It was also Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) so we put on a big
spread and had lots of other family & friends to join in the celebration.
Mike took us all for a drive to Jeffrey's Bay so the big boy cousins could have a surf and the girl cousins could do some shopping at the Billabong Factory shop and the littlest cousin had a ball on the beach there. My sister, Tammy and I also had a great day with all the kids at the Boardwalk and on Hobie Beach where David discovered the joys of the warm Indian Ocean.
I loved being back at places from my youth and was so pleased to be able to spend the time with my family before leaving.
The past couple weeks in Cape Town has also been really special with friends and family finally realising that we are leaving SOON so lots of braai's, dinners and lunches been happening !
Last Tuesday SVL arrived to start packing the container.... i was comletely blown away by their professionalism, dedication and friendliness - nothing was a problem (and believe you me, there where a few....) and they had our house packed and wrapped and the container sealed by midday Wednesday - next time we see anything that is in there will be Whangarei - yah !!
