The road from Rustenburg to Rondebosch

Laurent in his room. We later discovered this room was not going to be dusted or vacuumed for 2 months!
His room is in this block in University House.

The car and trailer needed to be unpacked.


It was looong ! We managed to find a place in Colesberg to sleep over and arrived on Tuesday afternoon in time for rush hour . It took about 30 minutes to get him settled . He has a room to himself so he's pleased . He's been in continuous orientation programmes and seemed exhausted .
We attended the 80th birthday party for Karen's dad and it was quite a bash ! The entire family was together - some for the first time in 10 years . Karen , Caley and I slept over with Heidi , Jack and Bo .... a great treat !
We said our goodbyes to Lau on Friday night and left to come home early Saturday morning . He didn't seem as sad to say goodbye as we would have liked him to be ! But I suppose that's the beginning of the 'typical college experience'.
The weekend before we said our goodbyes to Olivia who spent the weekend with us before going back to boarding school in JHB . She and Lau had a great time together and would not see each other again til June . (we know the feeling ...)
That's all news for now . Keep well and keep commenting !
