Our trip home Part 3 - Saying goodbye

It's finally our last week in South Africa. It is so hard, even as I write this I have the biggest lump in my throat. I don't want to think about us leaving or anything like that, all I want to do is be positive and be strong.

In the past 3 weeks, we've seen our friends, caught up with family and done things we used to do when we were in SA. We went to Gateway and shopped and walked around aimlessly. We don't have such big shopping malls in NZ, and although we still do our shopping sprees like we used to, we really miss Gateway. Everyone used to laugh at us and want to know how we ever spend hours and hours in Gateway. But we love it! Anyway, we really enjoyed our time in SA. Besides the shopping, we hung out with our friends and got to see people we've missed so dearly over the past few years.We didn't get to spend any time on the beach, much to my dismay because it rained everyday, and when it didn't rain it was so extremely hot. In the 4 days that the sun did shine, it was so extreme that there was no way you could be anywhere else besides an airconditioned mall! People who dared go to the beaches ended up with sun stroke, or burned their feet (Literally) because the sand was so very hot! No jokes!

But with this being our last week, Cameron's parents really wanted to give us a farewell party. So we got everyone together again and had a do at home.












We've finally said goodbye to all the boys, Cameron hardly slept last night but I guess he really didn't want the time to come to an end. Neither did I. The time has come for us to get ready and board the plane and fly back to NZ. I love South Africa, this is our home, always & forever.
