It is Tuesday morning and we are back home from a really great weekend away. Our marriage is a year old already and it is hard to believe the time has gone by so quickly. Last night as we were turning out the light Gina commented that by that time last year we had been asleep for 5 hours already (we were so exhausted after the wedding that we were falling asleep at the hotel we spent the night at afterwards).
Our weekend away was at the Drakensberg Sun Resort where we spent our honeymoon. We didn't quite have the same room but it was a really nice one nevertheless. The meals are fantastic although I admit that if you are there for a long period of time, they do become a little too familiar. We were at the resort for about 10 days for our honeymoon so the novelty quickly wore off.
This time around I think I was still carrying some of the weight I picked up from the last time so I had to force myself to take it a little easy with all the food! This was not easy when they rolled out apple crumble and custard. They also had this terrible habit of making amazing desserts. On the whole I think I did ok with all the food. Besides, we had to make the most of the food, it breakfast and dinner were included in the room rate ... ;-)
Once again we managed to take a lot of photos. Some of the photos are in my Vox library and the full collection is on Flickr. Gina shot many of the photos on this trip. I drove and she shot photos of the scenery we passed.
On the whole we had a great time. I don't think we have spent as much quality time together as we did on the trip for a long time. I didn't have my laptop with me so that wasn't a distraction. We just spent some good time together as we should when we go on holiday.
We are at the Cathedral Peak hotel for a visit and we have an awesome view of the mountains. The drive here is spectacular and we passed through a fairly widely spread out rural community.
It is pretty hot and humid today, out here. We're sitting on some deck chairs reading books and taking in the view. This is the first time in a long time Gina and I have had time like this to ourselves.
We're heading into the mountains for a long weekend. It is our first anniversary and we're looking forward to the break.
