Putting everything together

We collected Visas, Carnet de Passage, International Drivers Licenses, Renewal of RSA Driving Licenses that we were waiting for, making 10 fold of photocopies of EVERYTHING, etc.etc. Then we had to pay final Telkom Bills, Municipal bills, cancel ADT, pack the last things and say goodbye to the children and eventually, off we went!

Even Bella were saying goodbye

And we got a speech from the lady on the right……to do what we must do, enjoy, take the time and just get BACK!!!

So, just to make sure what she meant, she gave me this earrings to take TIME to enjoy the trip,  keep safe all the TIME and come back in TIME……..not too sure of what she meant by the last
