A very quick trip to South Africa

The little plane which flew Jo to Auckland from Wanganui airport - yes, we do have an airport! (Admittedly, it's a very LITTLE airport!)

The area around Wanganui taken from the air en-route to Auckland. New Zealand is very hilly and very green!

In contrast, at this time of the year, the Freestate is looking very dry and brown.

From the left - Melinda and Johann, Johann and Barbara, Marike and Eugene.

There is always something to enjoy - time spent with the kids is always special and although Jo only had a day to spend with all three of them, it was fantastic to catch up a bit with their lives. E-mails are great, but it's a whole lot better to connect in person!
