A few weeks ago we went over to friends Hubert and Linda's place for a night of chicken curry and poker. Hubert (in pic) is South African, more specifically a Capetonian, and so besides losing all my money at an astonishing rate, we were picking his brain about places to live, things to do and see. Holy exciting!
We've spent every day, since making our decision to move, researching about Cape Town down to every ridiculous detail and our excitement just grows exponentially. Last night was the epitome of giddiness; going to bed at midnight only to fall asleep in an exhuasted slumber around 3am, after adding more to our list of things-to-do, we were like children waiting for Christmas day.
We are literally living from journey to journey. We've just booked ourselves an "exploratory trip" to Cape Town (courtesy of good ol' Conergy) this coming Thursday for about 12 days, where we'll do all the basic set-up things like getting cell phones, opening a bank account, looking for accommodation, and just basically exploring the city. So it's off sooner than we expected but better than we had hoped!
And oh darn, that little nagging voice in my mind that keeps flashing "Bonnie, do your essay!" is becoming a constant companion, but even though it's overshadawed tenfold by other more 'important' things to do, i cannot put it off any longer. I'll start the day after tomorrow.

Hi Bonnie, Just caught up with this blog entry and had to let you know that Matt was born as a direct result of an evening playing indian poker with John and Sonja.... we went to bed late after a raucous evening and things started to happen a few hours later!! He was born about 7am the next day. Haven't played it since!! xx
