South Africa - Christmas and New Year

Arrived back in SA in time for Christmas. On Christmas Day i’d expected blazing sunshine but met with a massive downpour – right in the middle of the BBQ. Still very different from our lunches at home – not a roast turkey in sight! Great for all of the Kavanaghs to be back together, the first time since 2001.

It was really great to see my Mom up and about and recovering so well from her operation – keep it up Mom!!! We headed down to the South Coast for New Year, where the bad weather continued to follow us.

We also managed to have a boat accident when we were heading out to sea and got hit by a massive wave that broke the boat in several places and injured us too. I was left with a severely battered and bruised back and Steve with his big toe stitched back on to his foot. Think that might be my sea-going days over before they really began.
