With our days of parenthood encroaching & stress-free travelling being somewhat limited in the not too distant future (~6 weeks to EDD to be exact!), we flew to Johannesburg for the weekend of 8 May. The newly engaged Ga & Soph were our fabulous hosts for the weekend.
For the past 2 ½ months Jen’s ability to shop has been somewhat limited in Port Elizabeth. Even though clothes shopping was still out this weekend due to the ever growing bump, she relished the chance to peruse the shops on Saturday morning at Hyde Park and Sandton to buy a few more supplies for the baby, and some clothes for Pete.
Saturday afternoon was spent relaxing at Zoo Lake with Ga, Soph, Dabbo, Mo, Rob and Karen. Although it was a little chilly with very ominous looking clouds we loved catching up with everyone and sharing a cocktail later on at Moyo’s. A braai had been organised at Ga and Soph’s for dinner on Saturday night for whoever was around. The usual crew turned up to share the delicious poitkje (possibly the best one yet...on ya Soph) that was cooked on an open fire. Cheeky Paul & Heather gave us an early present for the baby- a tiny springbok rugby outfit of jersey & shorts. Pete was somewhat dismayed to hear Jen say how cute the outfit was. He was thinking it was a shame that it will never be worn!!
Phil was in town so we enjoyed a long Sunday lunch at a Greek restaurant prior to flying back to PE in the late afternoon.
Although we have only moved from Joburg less than 3 months ago, the constant traffic hit our nerves. How will we ever adjust to city living in Australia again?! We are too spoilt with the traffic in PE. Overall it was an awesome weekend and we loved seeing our friends again.
