From Europe to sunny South Africa


Holger Grebert and Petra Flassig from Germany landed at Cape Town International Airport on the 25th, which meant a Christmas Eve of a different kind, considering that Europeans celebrate the night before. Exhausted, they indulged in an hour or two’s lie-down before dining by candlelight overlooking Britannia Bay. What more could they ask for than sunny skies their first morning - no wonder Petra’s laughing so much!
Now headed for the Cederberg and then onto De Eike on a wine farm outside Tulbagh where they’ll see the New Year in, this pair spent two days walking the beaches of the West Coast and had much to relate of their estuarine experiences. From there via Beaufort West to Port Elizabeth and then a meander through the Garden Route – if the rain would only stay away!
Thanks for sharing the festive season with my Mom and me and be well in 2008.
