With the painting done at the house (apart from the doors, which can be done slowly) and with the house set up pretty well, we decided to treat ourselves to a trip to our favorite game park, Pilanesberg. We left early one morning so were able to enjoy an African sunrise. What made this sunrise…

(Dan’s comment are in italicized) It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here for over five weeks already…and I’ve not written a thing! I’d forgotten how much work, and time, it takes to set up house; but I’m getting ahead of myself. We had arranged to buy some furniture from the previous house owners and…

Days 116 thru 118 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) For our last two days in Mozambique, we chose to stay at a guesthouse a mere 500 meters from the airport, right on the main road, and a literal stones throw from the railroad track 🙄. This gave us a chance to experience Maputo outside of the…

Days 111 thru 115 (Dan’s comments are italicized) As dusk draws in, I’m sitting in our living area gazing out at the ocean and listening to the calming waves below…for the last time (this year)! Tomorrow we return to Maputo for a couple of nights before flying back to Johannesburg 🤞 The last few days…

Days 106 thru 110 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) We have settled into a bit of a rhythm here at Ponta. It is just so relaxing. Every day starts with a sunrise over the ocean. And we do our morning walk. Unfortunately, the tides have been a little high making our journey along the beach a…

Days 102 thru 105 (Dan’s comments are italicized) What a change of pace! Currently, our days consist of waking up naturally, doing a word puzzle together then going for a long walk on the beach before sauntering to our favorite little Bohemian restaurant for lunch. After lunch, we walk to a couple of street vendors…

Days 98 thru 101 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) While exploring Maputo we planned our next move, and decided to go full beach holiday because traveling, though exciting, can be like work at times. We were told about a lovely small town about 1.5 hours South of Maputo that the new bridge gave easy access to.…

Days 93 thru 97 (Dan’s comments are italicized) It’s been a bit of a strange four days here in Maputo. After receiving news that a very good friend had lost her son, Ben, my mind focused, once again, on how many parents I know who have to carry this unbearably heavy burden. I’m reminded as…

Days 89 thru 92 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) Our next destination was Maputo, Mozambique. A mere one hour drive from Kruger, as measured by reasonable people which we are not. Not only are we not reasonable people, but also we had some business to attend to in Sandton, so we drove 6 hours back to Johannesburg…

Days 86 thru 89 (Dan’s comments are italicized) I love Africa; I have loved it since I first set foot on this diverse and fascinating continent almost 40 years ago. And as a very good friend, who’s known me for over 50 years, said recently, “… Africa has always been your spiritual home.” So it’s…
