SKYDIVING & PARTYING (oh-yeah!)

  It has been a while since the last post.  Plenty has transpired, much adventure was experienced and we even had a bit of fun too ;)

Starting off with our busy skydiving weekend - we started with a good warm up activity: paintball.  Some people were a bit hesitant at first but after the blood started flowing some warriors shone through!

Enjoying a few drinks at half-time (no extra courage needed at this point)

Kruisrivier reserve is situated near Loskop Dam and offered us game drives, furnished accommodation and friendly service at a very good price.

Enjoying the best South African sundowner - Amarula cream liqueur

Socialising around our fire that was to cook our delicious lamb potjie

An early morning game drive gave us stunning views of the massive valley's sunrise

Giraffe, Wildebeest, Kudu, Zebra & Foreigners were to be seen ;)

We drove through to Witbank on Sunday to relax at the skydiving club with a braai and sunshine.  Of course this relaxation was interrupted by people deciding to jump out of a perfectly sound aeroplane.

A thrill like no other

During the interim period we've had many socials at Friends.  From a casual evening night to a full bodied birthday party, we've been enjoying the warm spring - day & night.

Playing with some long exposure shots

Good music, good beer and good company make for....goodness :)

SA vs Australia 29 September.  This was an introduction to some of the non-rugby playing nationals visiting us.  Some enjoyed it so much that they converted from football!

We had a birthday party of note.  15 hours of partying will generate photos that cannot be shown to your parents or posted on the blog.  Just join the next one and be part of the process ;)
