Learning through Living - Back Home in Cape Town

 My sisters and I have had a very full life and we have learnt so much over the past few years. We have lived almost all over Southern Africa and if we haven’t lived in a certain place, we might have visited it on our travels!
We have seen beautiful countryside, long stretches of ocean, busy towns and hectic cities! We have seen so much and sometimes we forget to take moving around the country as a blessing – we have learnt things most of our friends haven’t!
I decided to take you through our travels, showing places in beautiful South Africa that you might not have visited before. I want to show you crazy things we have done but enjoyed so much! So now sit back and enjoy looking at the heap of photographs I have to show you! I know it might or might not inspire you to step out of your front door and tour the beautiful countryside that you live in! But we learnt and we are learning about life and the world around us through living!

Each week I will show you a different place we’ve lived in.

Back home in Cape Town...

After living in Greyton for five months, we were happy to come back to our old house in Cape Town – back to our cats, our dog and our family and friends!

I just love this picture of Nancy and I on the slide!

We visited the Cape Gardens and fed the doves!

Look at those mountains...

Me and my most precious cat, Tiger!  I have never had a cat since like Tiger!  Let me tell you the whole story, we went shopping one morning – the whole family and Nancy and I spotted kittens and of course went to have a look, and lo and behold, each of us fell in love with one!  We already had two cats, but our family love all animals!  My mom said no, and my dad said yes – well YES it was and later that day we were seen with two new, mischievous kittens who loved to sleep on the tables and chairs and Tiger, who absolutely adored me, and slept in my bed almost every night!

Getting ready for our first train ride!
Then it so happened that my dad decided to visit a farm in Kwa-Zulu Natal. He wanted to see what it was like because it was a possibility that we could go stay there and run it. (It was an adventure farm)
My dad and I booked plane tickets and I had my fist plane flight ever – It was fun but slightly boring towards the end!

We went to visit Bekezela Adventure Farm in the beautiful Karkloof valley

Here are some photos of the farm:

Then we returned home and started packing because we were going to move there!

Packing up is a chore – Beth

And so the next chapter in our lives began...more on that in my next posting!
