Happy New Year everyone! Apologies for the late conveyancing of Hogmany good cheer, but we're just back from 4 nights up at White Elephant Game Reserve near Mkuze. We went with Laurie & Manfred from round the corner; their friends Paula & John who were visiting from the US and their kids. We were well stocked up with provisions in our self catering bush camp - no chance of catching any malaria because of the amount of gin & tonics which we were imbibing (for medicinal reasons of course). Not that socialising, and lounging in the pool were our only activities. We also managed to squeeze in a few game drives and guided walks. We even saw a jackal. And wild African bunnies. Now, it may seem quite wierd to go on game drives with a pram. However, Anya does get very very excited whenever she sees an animal and restraining an over excited toddler on bumpy dirt roads is a bit of a trauma. The pram came in very handy for keeping her safe, and she even managed to have a bit of a snooze en route.
Hogmany was celebrated at the MCC - Mkuze Country Club! There was even a band playing cheesy music. Line dancing was performed. And Stefan, closely followed by Anya, was the star of the dance floor. Anya had a little snooze prior to her late night shenanigans so was well up for a party. Just as well, because we didn't leave till quite late and then went back to the camp to see in the bells (what bells?) with a glass of champagne in front of the campfire.
As you can now imagine, we are suffering from terrible "back to work/reality" withdrawal symptoms. Luckily we are back on holiday next weekend when Kath, Jonny & Hannah come to visit. Yippee.
