That's it then - it's all over. Our last two days were spent on a game reserve just north of Port Elizabeth on the east coast of the Cape. Although the weather was rubbish we had a really good time and saw a lot of animals - too many to list here. We stayed in a Safari Lodge on the reserve where we were fed and watered very well - three courses for breakfast, lunch and dinner, high tea and refreshments on the afternoon game drive, how I have managed not to increse my weight I don't know. The scenery in South Africa was far more mountainous than we were expecting and very pretty.
We had a good flight home and were met by Geoff and Jean at Heathrow early Monday morning. We then went home, had a shower and went to the Inspire (over 60's) lunch at Kings Church. They didn't know we were going so we had an amazing greeting from our friends - it was a wonderful experience. Monica looked after our house beautifully and we are now busy unpacking everything we put up in the loft - including ironing all our clothes before putting them away (they were all packed in cases!) and sorting out the post. We were also pleased that the car started first time round so we have now been able to go shopping and stock up with food etc!
Thankyou to all of you who have been following our trip and also thanks too for all the emails we have received from you.
There will probably be one more posting on this blog when we have settled down, sorted ourselves out, got back into normal routines - whatever that means now we are both retired (although Roger still has some work coming in) - got the garden straight etc etc.
