On Friday we have a public holiday here in SA. It is Freedom Day, the anniversary of when the whole country could vote for the first time.
Dion and I got married in 1995, 12 years ago this Sunday 29th April. Due to our good timing, we now always have a public holiday two days before our anniversary and we always make a holiday out of it by taking off the working days around the public holiday.
So this year we are flying down to Port Elizabeth (the Friendly City), where I was born, and where my entire family still lives. We will then drive 3 hours to Knysna, stay there for 3 days, drive back to PE, sleep over one night and fly back to Jhb. Lovely – we can’t wait.
I will be doing no blogging, lots of reading, shopping and taking photos. Can you guess what my Tackle will be when we get back? That’s right – photos! After I finish helping Laura judge the organising challenge, of course.
As I finish preparing, I will note down any new travel tips and post them.
Good news! We got chicken today so tomorrow night it’s chicken.
