Good morning all. And Happy Fathers Day to Pops (Abba) and Da :-)
Yesterday was our day of rest...we tripped out to Plettenberg Bay and spent the day lazing on the beach. The breakers roared out of the blue Indian Ocean and tumbled on to the rich yellow sands. The surfers were out in force and altogether a fine day relaxing in the sun...we ate, read (Hena-The Tempest, Shakespeare; Les-A Place called Here, Alhern; Gary-Fiesta, Hemingway) and reflected on an incredible fortnight. Good stuff! And the Hot Chocolate early evening wasn't bad either...
Today's all about packing and planning. My packing has yet to be started but Hena and Lesley tell me they are leaving with empty cases as have chosen to give most of their belongings away in the township. The planning bit will be done over our 'Farewell Meal' at Cafe Mario's on the Knysna Waterfront - we have been asked to lead the sessions at Sinethemba tomorrow and to date we have Devotion sorted with renditions of Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" and "Kumbahya" and Hena doing more Sylheti Bangla traditional dances and also playing gigantic hopscotch in the main hall...but lots to do yet!
We may not be able to update here now until late intoTuesday (Paris?) as we are up early for work tomorrow and then have a 3pm pick-up straight to George airport for the start of our journey home.
...that final post will hopefully tell of what we have each gained from South Africa; and how those experiences have impacted on our lives....
Enjoy your Sundays...
Lesley, Gary and Hena
ps: new photos :-)
