  • Cape Agalhus

    We’ve recovered from our short lived sickness and have finally made it to Franskraal – our final destination. Nollie’s parent’s have graciously and generously given us the keys to their amazing beach house for the remainder of our trip. We are about a 300m walk to the beach (which we…

  • Shit Happens (Vomit too)

    So remember how I said this trip isn’t just sunshine and roses. Ha! That’s an understatement. After a great day in Swellendam we headed out for dinner with Dene and Jaco (NO KIDS!). Don’t worry we didn’t forget them, we left them with Lienke and her sitters. M safely tucked…

  • Kam’Bati

    We are staying with our friend Dene now at her beautiful resort Kam’Bati River Resort. This is seriously some of the most spectacular scenery I’ve ever seen. Our chalet is right next to the river. There are geese walking along the lawn in front of me (at a healthy distance)…

  • Two Oceans Aquarium

    We flew from Windhoek first thing Tuesday morning in a rather uneventful but typical African fashion. It took about an hour and a half to get checked in so that by the time we were processed we walked right on the plane. It’s not that we got to the airport…

  • Namibia

    Tonight marks our last night in Namibia. What an incredible country. It’s bittersweet to be flying out in the morning. It was such an adventure here. The kids seem to finally be hitting their stride with our hectic itinerary. C&M did amazing in the car today (all 6 hours of…
