Rourkes Drift we drove to Fugitives Drift on Thursday, we followed the sat nav and probably got within a couple of miles as the crow flies but we 60 odd km short by road. We arrived at around 18:00 had a couple of beers and got ready for a five course dinner which was superb. pre dinner involved canapes and beer around a file outdoors. we had an early breakfast 07:00 and was driven to Isandlwana where we the guide explained the build up to the battle, the battle itself and the aftermath. We returned to Fugitives drift for lunch and a couple of hours chilling out then we went to Rourkes drift. a different guide explained the evnets of the night and the heroics displayed by the welshmen. It was very moving and one of the highlights of the holiday. we then drove to Joburg Posted by Gareth on 07 July 2009 nearly home you will be on your way home now, we are all ready to see you and are missing you lots. Teagans show was brilliant, as to be expected she was the best and most beautiful on the stage. Mum and Dad are off tomorrow. it has been a busy couple of week, what with the show, rugby trials, Teagan's boyfriend living in Brynmawr!! plus decorating and work is manic. Anyway enjoy the home trip remember not to be grumpy when you get in!!! lol love u lots x4 Posted by mandy on 04 July 2009 my holi bods!!!!

Tempted lisa astray with the smell of the devil vino (she didnt take much persuading) my mother is currently grinding her nashers on YOUR sofa. Lisa and I are knitting booties 4 orphans n sum 3rd world country we are currently on our 6337 pair which is why we r still up at 4.30am we made a pact that we wud not stop knitting till we ran out of nylon wool. luv u loads and miss you jenny jack isabel molly but lisa's not!!!!! Posted by jenny on 03 July 2009 Thursday Change of plan, we have cancelled the safari and are driving to rourkes drift today. It makes sense because we have seen loads of wildlife and it stops us having to get up at 5 today and 4:30 tomorrow morning. We are staying at a farmhouse overnight near Rourkes drift and have 2 tours booked for Friday. We will then drive on to j burg Friday night, game Saturday (we have a do to go to on the morning of the match) then homeward on Sunday. Love x 4 Posted by Gareth on 02 July 2009 Well as the saying goes, "another crap day in Africa" Followed G & H by going to a nature reserve and also seeing hippos, zebras, warthogs, nile crocs and a buffalo. This whilst nursing a particularly nasty headache, due to the heat!!! Off to Rourkes Drift in the morning and staying there overnight. Cant wait. Lisa, mising you to. Not! See you soon.
