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.

Long way up!

Lana and I recentry travelled up to Witrivier, and I took some photo's whenever I got the chance, experimenting with longer exposures and a few new editing tricks I conjoured up!

ps - I think the cloud lovers will thank me for this post

Babysteps

My neigbour's baby is only a few months old, and had her first shot at climbing the steps in our complex. I decided to take a few photo's. Njoy!

Rousseau & Lana Engagement!!

I'm very excited about this post... I have found the love I thought was only true in stories, both mystical and magical, tangible and lovely. Her name is Lana, and she has graced my life with her beautiful presence. Please enjoy and celebrate our engagement with us through these pictures!

Ruben - 10 days old

A baby in the house usually reminds me of the frailty of life and the unfathomable journey we all had to undertake to get here, beginning all of our journeys in a very similar fashion. I couldn't stop looking at Ruben, and just had to take these snaps of him when visited Sammy in Pretoria! Enjoy!!

Utrecht Part 4 (Holland)

My classes have finally finished and my students are writing exams tomorrow! The end of the road is in sight, and I couldn't resist taking a drive and taking some pics on my third last day in Utrecht.

I still need to go in and see if the name is true...

I love the city traffic...

Many of these buildings have VERY impressive architecture. I wonder how long it took to make this?

On my way to the pannekoekenhuis!!

Guys... What a pancake... Oh yes... Yumm!

This old guy and his wife had so much fun in the shop, I was amazed by the freshness of their relationship. May we all have that when we're old!

Duck for dinner?

Holland - Windmills an Castles

Finally I have some time to travel around and experience the real Holland. The one we see in the pictures, with all the tulips and cheese and warm days and green fields. :) Some of the snow has melted, and I thought it was over for a few days after today's rain, but  a snowstorm covered the world in white about 15 minutes ago. (Pictures at the end.)

A bridge bearing the same name as my dad.

Boats line the canals in some parts

Even the original Micra needs petrol now and again.

How more Dutch can you get?

Was as if he was guarding the one eating.

Entrance to a real castle!

The snowstorm starts!
