SouthAfrica 2008

Howzit from SouthAfrica!!We are having a fantastic time in CapeTown with Heather,craig and little Katie.Yesterday we checked out the waterfront/capetown harbour....it's a different experience travelling with young children as they get tired with a lot of walking and shopping,luckily I have been to capetown before and so,skipping some things didn't worry me.Table Mountain really is amazing just to look at as it just so vertical!!,it really dominates everything and is just so breathtaking!.We did go to the aquarium which was lovely,the giant spider crabs just freaked me out!!Eeek!.Jasper found a cool playground after and so we had a leisurely lunch looking out on the beautiful harbour.
We took a boat cruise on this old steam boat which had a very funny tour guide,being slow it put ruby to sleep(the motion of the water).
We walked around Stellenbosch on tuesday,which was gorgeous!And we went abit mad buying at the markets there.

It is awesome being in SA again,especially wonderful showing it all to our children(they have already tryed biltong,and love it).It is a very busy nation,just hustle,bustle whereever you go,but that is the fun part of Southafrica,well,that and the general mayhem that you never know what to expect...woman picking bananas up off the highway,crazy drivers,industrious people using dustpans to sweep the highways!(no machines here)Jasper calling craig uncle "Crab",and so on...

Well,we are off to the FreeState tommorow,back to where davie grew up,Welkom,and to a HUGE Doyle reunion...I'll write from there.
Photos to come
