Our last days in South Africa saw us travel back to Jozi, spend time with family and do too way too much shopping!

This was interspersed with 2 trips to Loftus, one for the Currie Cup match against the Pumas on Friday night, before a visit with the Loftus store! That hurt the credit card!

In the weekend we had 2 Potjies as cousin Morne and Colin came around. The Soccer World Cup final on Sunday was actually fairly uneventful for us!

On Monday we sent a parcel weighing 22kg, believing that would be sufficient to allow us under the luggage limit. On Tuesday we had 2 great meals. Firstly we went to Menlyn Park and had lunch at Ocean Basket,  which does the best seafood. The meal was just perfect, with brilliant service. Then in the evening we went to celebrate Rheanna’s dad’s birthday and had dinner at Spur.

When we came to pack on Wednesday, we discovered we’d need to send another box as we had just been to Chamdor which is a fabric and material warehouse, and obviously we bought too much.

So we ended up sending another 17kg! Surely we’d be fine now…
