New Wheels!

It's been a busy first month for us back in South Africa, but we've made great progress getting things sorted out. We now have a car (photo: Peugeot Partner Grand Raid 2L Diesel), a house in Somerset West as of 1 Jan, a pre-school for Aiden starting in Jan and SA credit cards. We're still living on the farm with our friends and when the weather allows we spend a lot of time outside and in the vineyards. A highlight for the boys was when a CAT digger spent a whole week digging up a section of the vineyard where new vines will soon be planted. We took them for a close-up look one afternoon.

Ahhh... Africa!

Well, we've been back in South Africa for 10 days now and it has been an absolute blast! The Harvett boys (and mom & dad) all adjusted well to the time zone change and thankfully we have all managed to stay healthy. The flights from San Francisco to London and then on to Cape Town all went smoothly and the boys were super stars. Most of the toys, games and bribes we had acquired for the trip were not even needed.

We've spent some time with grannie and cousins but still have many more visits to go. We're staying with our good friends Nico & Annerie in their house on a wine farm about 10km outside Stellenbosch. The views from here are spectacular and there are 3 winery tasting rooms within easy walking distance. Enough said :-)

We still don't have a car and our money is still tied up in the US, but hopefully these matters will get resolved this coming week. We're also starting to look at rental houses tomorrow. Lots to do, but we're enjoying it all very much!
