OubaasDik Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 It was very pretty there - as I can testify - OumiesDik and I went there before meeting Mara and having lunch and a chat. Nice to put a face to a voice to an internet persona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well guys, we had a wonderful day... unfortunately some folk were not able to make it, for various reasons, but those that did...I am sure enjoyed themselves. We let the "uhm" young, fit and pregnant people climb the rock, and the "uhm" slightly older and ancient people kept guard over everything! I would like to say a huge thank you for those that made the trip, we shall do so again.We did unfortunately have a double booking for the undercover area that we had asked for, shall send them a letter of disappointment, but fortunately my hubby went and put RSA flags up to show the way to the new spot... so all ended well!Nev kindly said he would put up some photos of the day... so over to him and I bid you adieu! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeTMI Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi MaraJust to say thanks for arranging everything - we had a really lovely time it was great to meet everyone. What a wonderful venue and I think it worked out well that we were not under the covered area. The shade of the trees and the raised area in front of the dam (full of dragonflies enjoying the sunshine) were wonderful, there was a lovely breeze running across our area. We went for a walk after everyone had left and got out just before the gates closed for the day.We loved the drive through the countryside on the way there and back, a little reminiscent of the Midlands Meander (KZN). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rozellem Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Since the camera survived the day, I assume you did not snap Hansa (Die Skim)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donovan83 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm really sad I didn't get to join you guys I'm STILL battling this damn chest infection... argh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Rozellum, I honestly think that we should just accept that Hansa is a myth! Better still, perhaps we should report him to the cops as a missing person? Donovan so sorry to hear that you are still not well, sincerely hope you get better soon.
