Sunday was an exciting day as we loaded Sharon’s new mountain bike (as well as mine of course) onto the car and headed for Giba Gorge. Sharon was noticeably nervous having not ridden a bike in 10 years but I was confident she’d be fine. After a quick tire pump, and a couple of high …
After a very relaxing 2 week cruise my old man was kind enough to stop off in Durban and spend the Easter weekend with us. Thursday night was very relaxed. My dad had arrived in the morning, and spent the day at my house washing his 2 shirts which he had worn for the last …
On Saturday morning we were on the road just after 4am, coffee at the ready. The trip went by relatively quickly with just a short stop to grab a Red Bull. Just before 7am we pulled into the “complex”, La Rochelle, where everybody was waiting. After nearly two years of dating Sharon I finally met …
At 3:30am my alarm went off, Sharon I made a flask of coffee, packed the car, and were on the road by just after 4. On the drive to Umfolozi we had a good breakfast of egg mayonnaise sandwiches and filter coffee. We had decided to enter the park through the Hluhluwe gate and make …

Finally Friday morning arrived and we teamed up with my dad and Cassia, and headed for the berg. We arrived prior to check in, so we headed for the Midlands Meander where we bought some cheese and wine, and then had a great lunch at the Lavender Trout, which I would highly recommend. Sadly we …
Can you believe it?! Sharon and I have being going out for one year. WOW!! So to celebrate this momentous occasion we headed down to uShaka and had dinner at the famous Moyo. When we arrived in Durban there was a howling wind blowing, but this didn’t stop us from having a drink in Moyo’s …
After a few weeks of no exercise due to malaria, I decided I needed to take up another pastime to see me through the lull. So I picked up my old fly fishing rod and Sharon and I headed to Kamberg for the weekend. Much to Sharon’s disgust we were on the road by 5am …
