Back to the UK, Work and All Things Good

For those who were wondering where we disappeared to for a month, we’ve just returned from an absolutely brilliant visit to South Africa where we visited friends and family in Cape Town and Plettenberg Bay, took in some incredible scenery, hung out with a pack of wolves and recharged our ailing batteries.  Of course no holiday is complete without showing off the snaps! So without further ado, here is the abridged pictorial journal of our amazing break:

First sunset of our holiday: sun going down over the Atlantic Ocean between Noordhoek and Kommetjie, Cape Town

In case we were in any doubt, this road sign reminded us that we DEFINITELY weren't in England anymore...
