Exceptional year: Wedding, honeymoon, baby, and a new tourism business

My husband and I had a spectacular year in 2006!!! The year was filled with many special days, happy occasions and wonderful memories. It was definitely the biggest year of our lives.


2006 started with our wedding in January. It was the most special day in our lives and the beginning of our lives together. We were blessed to share this wonderful day with our family and friends at a guesthouse in Durbanville. We had a lovely garden wedding and a real South African braai at our wedding reception.


We had the opportunity to go to the Cedarberg for our honeymoon. We stayed at the Elephant Leisure Resort and spent almost every day in the jacuzzi on our verandah overlooking the Cedarberg mountains. We ended our honeymoon in Franskraal in the Overberg region (close to Hermanus). My husband spent most of his time kayaking in the sea whilst I was lazing in the sun on the beach.


We were also fortunate to be blessed with an adorable little baby boy (Juan) in 2006. He has changed our lives for the better in so many ways. Just to see him smile and laugh brings warmth into our hearts. Every day we spend with him is a gift from God.


In order for me to stay at home and look after Juan, we've started an Internet-based Tourism business - Lodges in Africa. We sell honeymoon destinations within Southern Africa and represent a variety of game lodges and beach resorts. We have a passion and deep appreciation for nature and pride ourselves in selling the no. 1 honeymoon destination in the world - Africa!!! Imagine an African Safari Honeymoon or a Bush & Beach Honeymoon in Africa.


We look forward to the year 2007 and trust that it will be as exceptional as 2006. We will share our knowledge and expertise with our valued guests here at Lodges in Africa and help plan the most exceptional honeymoons in the world.
