Tuesday and Wednesday

I can honestly say I don't know what happened to Tuesday and Wednesday! They were spent here at Santi's. We had some running to do but Hatched/AS is also getting some new things ready to launch tomorrow. Yesterday Declan was here for the afternoon. Poor thing, he is cutting teeth and has tonsillitis as well. All in all, he's every mother's dream! Cara and I are taking off today for a long weekend. Liese printed out an itinerary for the Lowveld. I'm going to take a few minutes to post it while I await my tour director for today :)

Thursday is driving and visiting the Sudwala Caves. I googled it to take a little peek as to what is in store for today. This area is rich in both culture and history. http://www.sudwalacaves.co.za/

Friday has a little touring in the morning and my instructions say, "wear long pants and tekkies for bushing (a walk in the bush)". Sounds interesting... Later in the morning the rest of the crew will arrive. The rest of the day will be spent exploring the area including the Shangaan Village. Although I did find a link for the village, I didn't have time to look at it closely, but here it is anyway: http://www.shangana.co.za/4.html Dinner will be a picnic under the stars and Liese tells me that I need to be sure to find the Southern Cross! I'm told they see different stars and constellations here but this will be the perfect time to actually be far away from city lights to see them brightly! Let's hope for some clear weather!

Saturday holds even more surprises to come! We will visit the Moholoholo area. Here is yet another link I haven't fully been able to explore http://www.moholoholo.co.za/ This should be fun! So much to see and explore! What a wonderful country this is in all of it's splendor! My itinerary says that we will be taking a scenic route back to Hazyview which will include Bourkes Luck, Blyde River Canyon and the 3 Rondawels, the Pinacle and God's Window... how beautiful does that sound?

Sunday is an early start to the day and the drive back home stopping at Pilgrim's Rest and finally, home sweet home!

So, what kind of weekend does this sound like? Sounds to me as though I'm going to be filling up those camera memory cards and the hard drive on my PC! At least I'll have the laptop with me so I can download and perhaps edit the images to be ready to go up as soon as we return on Sunday! I have a notepad ready to take notes and of course I'll be picking up the touristy kind of booklets as I go along!

I see my tour director is here and I must begin this adventure! I'll be back!
