The sounds of Africa have been greeting us each morning and I have been waking up before 6:00 am. It's difficult to stay in bed under such lovely conditions so I have been getting up and enjoying a cup of tea before anyone else is up.
The day started with blue sky and bright sunshine but the forecast was for rain. Beth thought we would like to have morning coffee overlooking the Valley of a Thousand Hills at a favourite place called The Pot and Kettle. We sat on the spacious veranda and watched the deluge of rain while we chatted over coffee. The rain was certainly not going to spoil our day.

Later we met up with Robynne and Dave for a braai (BBQ). The table was laden with a variety of food that was enough to feed the 5000. I couldn't help going back for more. Note to self - must watch this if I want my clothes to fit me by the end of the holiday.
Sunday started with blue sky and bright sunshine and we had a date with the sea front before meeting Malcolm, Dylan and Jani (Beth and Cliff's sons and daughter-in-law) for lunch at the Mug & Bean. After lunch, Beth, Ian and I strolled along the sea front in the direction of the new Moses Mabida stadium. Beth had assured us that it was a sight to see and I have to say that it really is spectacular. We hoped to take the sky train which takes passengers over the top of the stadium but it wasn't in operation so we took a photo instead.
We had tea with Cliff's parents in the afternoon and rounded the day off with a Sunday evening service at the Baptist church that Dylan is a member of.

All too soon our stay was drawing to a close and we said a sad farewell to the Smith family while looking forward to meeting the Campbell family once again.
