On Friday morning Jeff had a booking to take a family of Dutch visitors down the Umzimkulu River on inflatable rafts. Of course I went along too! Although when we left the farm it was cloudy and chilly. It was a 3 hour trip down a section of the river with a few gentle and 2 tricky rapids and some nice gentle stretches of water. We all enjoyed it, I got quite sunburnt! Yes, the sun came out and it warmed up. Forgot to put the sun block on!!!That afternoon we all (Robbie, Louisa, Jeff and I) went fishing for bass on one of the farm dams near by. Well only Jeff and Robbie got their rods out, I sat huddled on the shore in the grass because it was so cold. After trying differnt spots around the dam, Robbie gave up and took his family back home, Jeff managed to catch one bass. We'd been invited back to Robbie's bungalow for roast pork supper. Mmmmm, much better than fish!
In the mean time they'd had a family drama of some sort, and we never found out what it was about except that the girls (10 and 12 years old) had been cheeky... a magazine... and were given a lecture and sent to their rooms. Without enough clues, Jeff and I couldn't decipher what it was all about!!!!
By the way, we didn't let the rabbits out today, so we didn't have to race back home before it was dark!
