  • No use crying over spilled milkshake

    Turns out today is our last day in Montreal. We had originally intended to stay until Wednesday and attempt to drive home all in one go but we have decided to pack it in and leave in the morning. Jacob is ramping up for this weekends shellfish festival at home…

  • Parks and Huîtres

    Well this is it. The day we have been waiting for: Montreal oyster fest. The festival is a day long affair, kicking off around noon and going well past my bedtime. Ok, it only goes until 10, but that’s way past my bedtime. This festival is the whole reason we…

  • Living la vida local

    I’ve been to Montreal a number of times – I’d say close to a dozen but this is the first time with kids. One of the best parts of going places with them is they force us to see the city in a totally different way. We spent the morning…

  • Purple lights and pink skies

    We’ve been in Pretoria now since Saturday evening for the final leg of this journey. Sob. To say I’m not looking forward to going home is a serious understatement. Of course I never want a trip to end so this was expected. We have really enjoyed our time in Pretoria.…

  • Doo-do. Doo-do.

    We’ve just been laying low in Franskraal since my last post. We’ve had some more family beach days (hoorah!). C has been joining me for my morning trips to the beach and doing some exploring. We do exciting things like build sand castles, chase his new ball and look at…

  • Do you speak whale?

    We’ve certainly slowed down our lives and travels these past few days. Phew. We are getting some much needed relaxation, this traveling with babies thing is exhausting (I know you don’t feel bad for me). We’ve been squatting at Nollie’s parents’ beach house since Thursday. It’s a three bedroom cottage…
