It was a beautiful Stellenbosch day. Catherine and Danielle took advantage by visiting an Alpaca farm where they fed the animals and enjoyed the bunnies. Some photos below.
I rode home early to purchase Johannesburg flights for our upcoming Kruger Park safari. We bought the tickets at Checkers, the grocery store within walking distance of our flat. Good thing, too, as we went back three times for (1) parents’ passports, (2) kids’ passports and birth certificates, and (3) our debit card that was inadvertantly left behind on the second trip. Who knew so much documentation is required to buy plane tickets?
I also took posession of our third rental car. The first (a gray Hyundai Accent) was smashed. The second (a gray Honda Ballade) stunk like cigarette smoke. We are now the proud posessors of a white Hyundai Accent. Arlene, the Avis representative in Stellenbosch who has come to know us too well, believes that matters will improve with the new color.
Catherine and I played Tank Trouble this evening; much laughter when I learned (the hard way) that shots ricochet off the maze walls.
