So Cath Emma and I embarked on a road trip - of about 800kms all round To Sedgefield near Knysna. Foreigners - look it up! In a car. Did I mention we took the two-year old with us. Yes, it was an interesting experience - and oddly enough, one I'd be willing to repeat.
Emma had Teddy to keep her company - and top right, we played some hide n seek too to pass the time.
Maybe when it's your own country you don't realise how beautiful a place is, but South Africa is really stunning.
Emma choosing some music.
First rest stop for lunch at the side of the road. Emma's seat = the coolerbox.
This was a slight detour along the way - at a place called... Groot Brak
Big dam. Pretty.
Catherine. Pregnant. Also pretty.
Once in Knysna - the local big town - we took a drive to do a bit of sightseeing. Our GPS directed us here, quite by accident. The weather was crap but the view was stunning.
Then at the holiday house, Emma did a bit of drawing. I drew the boxes and she coloured in.
We were so proud we had to take a photo - look at this colouring in - so neat and she's only 2! A Genius I tell you! (How did we turn into those proud parents we all say we'll never be?)
Watchin a bit of telly...
There was a trampoline just outside our door. But Emma, despite wanting to be on it non-stop - refused to jump by herself. Her plaster from her broken leg had only just come off and she was refusing to walk yet.
So dad did the jumping.
And there were some African seesaws too.
But one of the main reasons we wanted to come to this place was the pedal boats - and we went on them pretty much every morning. Emma loved them!
Captain Emma at the helm!
