Who needs the Kruger Park?
Yesterday was our anniversary. So we went out to the Sandbar, a floating restaurant in
Bushman's (3 minutes away from Kenton on Sea). After some great sea food and live entertainment we went to the beach (forgot to take photos) in Kenton. We swam out to a large sand bank in the middle of the lagoon where we played around in the sand like 5 year
olds. On the drive back however something very unexpected happened...
We saw an elephant, promptly stopped and took some photos. You can judge it's size by the off road tracks where it is walking.
We then climbed back in the car and
zooted off again into the sun set. Barely a few
km's down the road I spotted one of my favourite animals in the peripheral vision. Promptly slammed on breaks, reversed and took some more photos. You can see the baby suckling the mother Giraffe.
So in summary, why pay a fortune to go to the Kruger when you can live nearby so much game in a town with 2 beach towns very nearby?
A New Year - New Adventures
Hey everyone... this
Sunday will mark our 1st year of marriage, an occasion we are looking forward to celebrating. Our first year has been peaceful and
blissful and we're happier than we've ever been.
2008 is starting off with a bang and the adventures are hunting us down this year. I chose to keep our first year as a year where we
predominately focused on each other (scripture says a man should spend his first year doing nothing except pleasing his wife). The end of last year we began seeking God for some direction and vision. The result of this is us moving down to
Grahamstown.
We also have a new addition to the family.
Radaph is a little ginger kitten (as you will see) whose
Hebrew name means "To hunt or pursue with hostile intent". This great little word is translated as "follow" in psalm 23 where it says "goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life".
Radaph amazingly meowed for the entire 11 hours trip to
Grahamstown. This has left him a little "thunder struck", very hoarse and he now sounds like the lead singer from AC/DC
And of course here are some photos:
We were sent flowers by Katherine's mom

Our drive way
Our swimming pool
Our removal truck arrived later than planed, so we had no choice but..... to go to the beach which at 45 minutes away is really close when you're from the East Rand or
Jhb.
The truck did
eventually arrive and now we're faced with the challenge of "where do you unpack 76 boxes from a 2 bedroom flat into a 1 bedroom flat???"
This was one of the 10 minutes during our 11 hour drive where
Radaph wasn't meowing.
Radaph and I (Gareth) making friends (I'm allergic to cats and as a result a little scared of them)
Radaph exploring our garden
Radaph confused about whether he is a parrot or a cat.
That's plenty of photos for now, we'll post something up once the flat looks a little nicer.
