Honeymoon

Lana and I tied the knot on 5 June 2010 (Please see www.lizellelotter.co.za/rousseau-en-lana-witrivier ) and went on an absolute adventure of a honeymoon. I know what you are thinking - a honeymoon is supposed to be a restful, quiet trip where you are served all day long and don't have to travel... Well... We chose to do something different.

The first part of our honeymoon was in the Kruger National Park at Jock Safari Lodge. The facilities were exquisite and we were treated with gourmet food as well as excellent game drives.






Our room as right next to a riverbed, and we could "lounge" outside on a couch/bed and watch the animals pass by.


This young giraffe was HUGE!!









The trip Northward on Mozambique's national road had our mouths hanging open at times. We have a lot to be thankful for in South Africa!






Our arrival at Linga-Linga was at night, so I jumped out of bed early the next monring to catch the first rays of sun. The next photo is the view from where we stayed.



We stayed in a house made entirely from wood, with only gause for windows.


Don't laugh - every year quite a few people die in Moz because of the deep relationship between ripe coconuts and gravity.






Lana and I agreed that we have NEVER seen as many stars at night. This photo is a long exposure of about  46 minutes.





The Moz "kreef" are MASSIVE...

And every afternoon hundreds of crabs soldier around on the beaches.

The road back was treacherous after it started raining, and at some point it probably took us about 3hours to cover 10km's. And yes - we did go in the RunX.

Some trucks needed a little push up the hill.

So now we're praying for a 4x4!

Lana took this as we drove past an alley.

Back in South Africa we travelled around Nelspruit and decided to build a few fun photo's. (Many of these photo's are 3-5 pics stitched together.)




The road back home had it's own beauty.



The last leg of the Honeymoon was Langebaan, where we kicked off with cooking classes at Delici! (http://www.delici.co.za/)



Westcoast National Park was a blast!





We even went bird watching.

Our last stop was Paternoster. Where we ate and drank and sat around and reminisced about the month gone by.
