Farewell London

-
A fond farewell to London, as we return to South Africa after almost 3 years in the UK this time.  The vibrancy of this city is amazing and we dearly miss our good friends and the services and brunch at HTB!  It's hardly possible to describe our experiences in one blog entry, but we have so much to be thankful for and will always treasure the time of our lives spent here.  Thank you London... Until we meet again!

Kassiesbaai

We had the pleasure of discovering the delights of Kassiesbaai on a recent trip to Arniston in South Africa.  Kassiesbaai is a working fishing village where we found wonderfully warm smiles and generous people.  Lillian, one of the local residents, treated us to an evening of beautifully cooked freshly caught fish with a candle lit dinner in one of the original houses (like the one pictured above).  The village dates back approximately 200 years and has been declared a national monument.  It is located on the coast of the Indian Ocean in the town of Arniston, named after the Britsh troopship that was wrecked off the Agulhas reef in 1815, with the tragic loss of 372 lives.  Arniston is approximately 190km from Cape Town.
