Almost Christmas

4 more days and we are going home for Christmas. Hard to imagine with 30°C and blue skies, but it's true.
After we left Langebaan, we went to a wonderful wedding in Yzerfontein. It was the most beautiful setting! Directly on the beach. It went on for two days and we tried to enjoy it as much as we could, taking turns when Marlon needed to sleep. Some nice days in Cape Town followed, again before we flew up the East Coast to East London and then on to Cintsa. Buccaneers backpackers is a place I know from 5 years, ago and it was as beautiful as ever! We left all water sports equipment in Cape Town, so we had great relaxing 1 1/2 weeks playing on the beach with Marlon, reading (when he was sleeping), playing volleyball, jumping into the pool, battling an ant invasion every two days, sleeping ourselves and so on..... After that we spent two days in Addo to visit the Addo Elephant Park and Schotia Safaris. Marlon freaked out when he saw all the animals! Espescially the elephants and the giraffes got his attention... We loved it, too, but it was soooo hot! So we're happy to be back in Cape Town! Now we have to try and minimize our luggage to fly back to Germany. Last night Juergi and I almost had a nervous breakdown, when we realized how much stuff we accumulated... ;-)
