This Explains Alot

Ho,ho,ho and a bottle of Rum, this is where our name came from...

Craziness along the Garden Route

They jumped - need I say more!

Fauna and Flora

Kirstenbosch Gardens is one of my favourite places in the world. My friend Jenni and I used to dream about sneaking in and spending the night there. Kirstenbosch is a botanical garden planted on the leeward side of Table Mountain. You can literally spend hours there walking around and getting lost. And when you're done, they have a little tea room where you can go and get a nice pot of rooibos tea and a couple of scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream - yummy.

The Tip of Africa

The day we went to Cape Point (the very tip of the African continent) was an absolutely beautiful day. We didn't get to see as may baboons out and about ass usual, but climbing the five hundred million steps to the lighthouse to see the point is still pretty spectacular - no matter how many times you declare how you want to die going up.

On Top of the World

Now this was a very, very, very (did I mention VERY) cold day. This is us on top of the mountain that you can see in the sailing pics.

And no - we didn't climb the whole way up - we took the easy way.

Oh to be Young Again

Ethan's Train Ride

Ethan is obsessed with trains. Well....actually...he's more obsessed with trains crashing, crashing into one another, crashing into trucks, cars, boats, airplanes etc, but this time he had to suffice with riding in one.

Squatter Camps

Mack's mom was fascinated by the squatter camps(shanty towns), and how far they stretched (also about the large amount of really prime property they took up). She was the queen of drive by shootings by the end of this trip. (nice pun ha?)

I these are pictures of Khayelitsha. (say that ten times fast)

Sailing the Waterfront

We took a catamaran boat ride out of Cape Town harbour, just to get a little wind in our hair, salt water on our jeans and catch one of the best views of Table Mountain.








Ethan - totally making my grandmothers day.

We got to watch a few tugboats helping this large crater ship into the harbour. It was seriously cool to see.
