Walvisbaai - December 2007


Still playing around with the whole formatting & layout of the whole thing, i guess. I've also made the descision to start blogging in english, since i actually know a few people who cannot speak that old kitchen language, afrikaans. (except for of course all the curse words - good job, guys) Maybe i'll just alternate. Or maybe I'll just do this one in english and continue in afrikaans, now that i think about it, my english speaking friends probably won't check my blog anyway! Just a few words on what i've done for my holidays - i decided that i had to visit the old homestead over december, as i'm not sure that i'll ever go back there again, or at least not for a very long while. it was pretty cool to see all the nephews & nieces and assorted family, and to hang out around my gran's coffee table. unfortunately i couldn't find enough time to see my old schoolfriends, which i regret. At least they can come visit me once we've got ourselves sorted out in nz. New holiday destination, everyone! i really enjoyed hearing all the little pieces of family gossip! It seems like every time i go home, i get a new perspective on how everybody fits together. All in all, it seems like perfect way to start getting ready to leave SA, to re-establish where i come from, and to take part in all the little family traditions that was part of life when i was younger.
