Johannesburg, South Africa - 12th April 2009
By: MrsC
Olá Măe!
I arrived in Joanesburgo a week ago and I have sat around doing nothing, nothing at all! I am staying with Fi and she has been so busy working lately - typing medical reports. She has headphones on her ears listening to doctors talking so I can't even talk to her... very boring!
The first time she paid us any attention was on Easter. She took us ouside so we could find Easter eggs that the Easter bunny hid...
I found lots! I haven't tasted any pink beer yet or seen any wild animals but she said she would see what she could do about that.
I may have to raid Barbie's cupboard and find something a little warmer to wear - it is Autumn now and the evenings are getting quiet cold.....
I'll let you know how my travels are going soon.
Beijinhos!
Isabella.

Johannesburg, South Africa - 11th June 2009

As anyone who lives in Johannesburg will tell you, one of the best things about Johannesburg is the weather.... It never gets too hot in summer (lies, lies I tell you!) and in winter it NEVER rains... the sky is blue, blue, blue and it isn't really that cold.
LIES, LIES and MORE LIES!!!!
...and this is only June, I can't wait for July when winter REALLY kicks in!

Wemukelekile, South Africa - 7th July 2009
By: MrsC
Today we met some friends at a place called 'Wemukelekile' - no, I can't say it either, but it means 'welcome' in Zulu. Fi says you pronounce it: weh - moo - keh - lee - kee - leh...whatever, my tongue is not dextrous enough to pronounce that!
It is a strange place. There is a five star restaurant, a coffee shop, a nursery, a children's play area and a farmyard all in one! And there are loads of carved stone statues all about like this one...
We found a very vain peacock in the farmyard section. He started strutting his stuff as soon as he saw the camera!
Not many flowers about at this time of the year, it is the middle of winter, but the pansies were in full bloom and made a nice splash of colour. See, they match my skirt!
The aloes are quite a pretty sight too though these are past their prime.
We stopped for breakfast and warmed up with some hot chocolate, but after a quick turn round the play area we went home because it was so cold with an icy wind...3°C! I really wasn't dressed warmly enough....
