There is no typo in the title - the reference to 2016 is quite correct! Sadly, it came to
this – on the very last day of 2017, I'm doing my first and last post for the year, about an event
which took place in December 2016. What can I say, 2017 was somewhat rough.
Anyway, back to the business at hand. We had a wonderful
holiday in Umhlanga at the beginning of December last year. Not our usual haunt
in December (heat, humidity, lots of people etc.), but there were matric holiday considerations which played a role
when the booking was made earlier in the year. After a rather eventful wedding on Friday 2 December (think smashed window on my car, husband's stolen cellphone), we left a day later than planned on 6 December, having to sort out the logistics of repair and replace. Thankfully the rest of the holiday was without incident and we had a very relaxing time.
Without wasting any more time, herewith the customary photographic evidence ...

Finally, a family goofing off - you may recognize some of them...
The end
PS: Chronicles of the two holidays in 2017 will follow in due course. Hopefully before December 2018 ;-)
