Week the third

We continued our hectic pace into the final week of the hols, as evidenced here:
.
Lokobe
We stayed for one night (as it turns out) at Hogwart’s School of Hotelling and Cookery.
The place was lovely – lush huts up a mountain at the edge of a nature reserve. It was also the site of a Hotel school, [...]

Week the second

(yes, yes, puppy woo, but also: holiday woo!)
In week numero dos we did mucho de scooteros. Awesome.

The Road
There weren’t very many cars on the island, so they weren’t very man cars on the road. Road, singular. There were plenty of dirt / gravel jobbies, but only one tarmac ring road around the island.
Driving was mostly [...]

Arf!

This is Roxy.
She is excellent.

Holiday stuff

We had a bit of an adventure to start our holiday with.
Our flight out from Jo’burg was delayed slightly. By more than two hours. Given that we had an hour gap for our transfer flight, we were wondering what was going to happen once we landed.
Amazingly, our connecting flight from Antananarivo to Nosy Be was [...]

Thursday morning last week – Pro Photo Ho

The lines on floor sort of worked.
Sort of.
I got asked to do some corporate headshots for a web site.
It was quite fun actually. Not so much the photo part, but the chatting and messing around part.

Joburg Trip

Sort of conveniently, Jo had a meeting on Friday morning and another on Monday morning, so we decided to make a weekend of it.
Unfortunately, this did mean getting up [...]

The hordes descend…

It’s all a blur

Saturday saw Casa Us hosting Jo’s birthday party.
It was awesome.
There were many, many, people (50ish, including 10 younglings), and lots of them spent lots of time in the pool.
It was awesome.
Presented below are a few blurry, incoherent, but happy-inducing photos.

Cha Cha Chaaaa

By me.

Walkies!

Saturday was mostly taken up with a walk on Table Mountain.
It was awesome.
Me, Parfait, Jim, Jean did the now classic route of up Skeleton Gorge, over the top past Mclear’s beacon, and down by cable car.
Here a few snippy snappy photos. There are even a few “arty” ones hidden in their midst. [fun game [...]
