More Lala


Kath, Jonny and Hannah had a fantastic week in Durban. We went on holiday for the week too - although it was knackering. Highlights included hanging out at the beach; the aquarium and water park; the Shark's Board boat trip (Hermann & Jonny only); shark dissection (we had pre-autopsy drinks to get in the mood) and then a weekend up at Hluhluwe.

Hannah's vocabulary is very advanced for a 'not quite 2' year old, so we were subjected to a never ending stream of "more giraffe, more zebra, more rhino, more goat (buffalo), more impala and more lala (nyala)". When not on game drives Hannah was mostly obsessed with the baby (more baby toes), smoothie juice, ice cream and jelly.

She was very cute and very well behaved but even Kath had problems keeping her entertained for the duration of our leopard sighting. Hannah must have been wondering why we were looking at a bush for 30 minutes. But the safari trip was excellant fun. We braai-ed in style every night and even made it for the early morning game drives although I pretty much disengaged the baby from the milk ducts, rolled out of bed and went on safari in my nightie. I may have looked like a bag lady, but it didn't scare the animals away - we even had a fleeting glimpse of a cheetah!
