Family trip

Dov, Nechama, Elysheva and I bought tickets for Mommy and Abba for their anniversary to come travel and visit me in South Africa. We had always planned to send them somewhere exotic for their 25 anniversary and this way we were able to kill two birds with one stone. A trip to the beautiful South Africa and then a visit with ME!!!
We surprised Elysheva as I am sure you all know with a ticket as well so she came along for the trip!!

Garden route

We had an amazing trip. I really enjoyed showing them around, my house, shul, the people, and just everything about were I have been living on my own for the past 10 months.
Although the weather wasn't 100% we dodged the rain drops and really had a great time. After being in Cape Town we started our big trip up whats called "The garden route". We drove from Cape Town along the coast to Port Elizabeth.
The drive is BEAUTIFUL, the animals, the scenery, and the mountains are breath taking.

We stopped along the way at different fun animal parks, beautiful scenic spots, pet cheetahs, tigers, monkeys, adopted a hippo, rode an elephant, saw baboons and ostriches on the side of the road, and really just had the best time!
The beauty that you experience here really is hard to explain. You have to experience it for yourself to understand.


We spent Shabbat with the Edelmans, and on Sunday drove to a game drive and saw lots of animals! We even saw a lion and a rhino, usually they are really hard to see so we got lucky!!!

 After such an incredible trip it was a bit hard to say good-bye. It is very easy to forget how much I miss being home, being with family reminded me how much I really needed them around.

This trip was definitely one to remember and making memories like these with family is SO important, I really thank Hashem for such an amazing opportunity.
