trip nr 2 on go!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I havent written for a while, but I have had my hands full! Last weekend, saturday night at midnight, we started our drive down to Cape town....from Johannesburg, over 1400km, and believe it or not, the trip went quick and Liina& Viivi behaved the whole trip,slept and laughed and all happy.
When we arrived here in Cape Town on sunday afternoon we though the car was going to blow off the road, it really was stormy here. We stayed the whole week in Camps Bay , we went down to the beach a few mornings and the girls got to play in the sand and jump in the waves,they love the beach and water:) And we also went to see the penguines one day, we walked along the beach and between rocks to get as close as possible to the penguines,we actually walked between them.
Otherwise we have met a few friends while here and not really planned to much , as on thursday my group number two arrived, 26 people. And once again Im fortunate to have a wonderful group. Yesterday was a long day as we left in the morning at 8h30 for Cape point and the penguines, and did not arrive back to the hotel until 19h00, as we visited a wine estate on our way back and table mountain was clear( no clouds hanging over it as so often) so we took this chance to go up, as there might not be another chance because of the weather. People loved it and even if they where tired when we came back, they where very happy with the day.
The weather here has been ok, a bit windy, but the sun is shining and it is summer.
Nico and the girls left for Jburg this morning while I was on the township tour , so Im a bit sad as I wont see Nico and the girls until christmas again. Next time I do not want them to leave before me, it gets really quite around when the girls arent here.
They left today to drive back the whole 1400km to Jburg because Kiras boyfriend Jukka is arriving tomorrow for a 3 weeks visit.Kira is very happy as she hasnt seen him for over 6 weeks.
Cant believe we have been here already 2 months! Almost half the time.
About christmas cards, I havent had time to send anyone a card, but you will all be in my thoughts on christmas:)
Tomorrow we are going to the wine area for a wine tour and on monday we are flying up north to contínue our journey with the group. Tonight I have the afternoon-evening off and are busy planning the tours for next year as I got one more group booking, for next year november, by now I have 5 tours for next season, I think that is enough! But Im very happy I can plan ahead and the tours to SA are so popular.
Have a great saturday eve all of you.

  4. Hejsan vännen,

    Låter som ni rockade loss riktigt ordentligt på Strampen:)Jag är i Pilgrimsrest nu med gruppen och behöver REST! Varit en lång dag med flyg och buss, nu är det lugnt fram till slutet av resan:)
    Får se hur julen blir, inte åtminstone vit, de har lovat 35-38 grader över jul!Pust, det blir nog lite väl hett. Saknar nog riktiga julstämningen,med snö och mörka kvällar,nu får det bli mörkt med värme och stjärnhimmel.
    Nu ska jag börja sova,julkramar Jannika
