Tree Top Touring

This is the second time we've done this and it is just so much fun. Ethan enjoyed his first ride and then proceeded to try and get away from the guide for the next 9 runs. Poor kid. The rest of us had a great time.









Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in our pursuit for the next thrill.

Big Dumb Birds

We had to take Mack's parents to the Ostrich farm so they could take a ride - it was so worth it. Did you know that an Ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain? Well now you do.

Shongololo

I used to play with these when I was a kid. Mack found one and apparently doesn't care that he is no longer a kid. He still played with it.

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.
