Juan is teething

It has been a looooong week. Juan is teething and it is quite painfull. He doesn't sleep a lot during the evening so we are also not sleeping. And to think it is only 4 down and 20 teeth to go!!! I'm sure it gets easier after a while. For all mothers and fathers out there - keep faith and stay calm!!! It is difficult, but it will also pass. One day they won't even remember the pain of getting teeth. Just enjoy every day with your precious child...

Weekend away to Franskraal

Dawie, Juan and I went for a trip to Franskraal over the long weekend and it was absolutely stunning!!! Franskraal is just 5 minutes past Gansbaai (where you can do the famous White Shark Cage diving) and about 30 minutes past Hermanus along the coast. My in-laws has a beautiful, little holiday home in Franskraal and a stone-throw away from the beach. The beach is awesome for swimming, tanning, kayaking, surfing, and fishing. Dawie loves to kayak in the sea and go fishing on a rubberduck boat. I love the walks along the beach. It was also Juan's first time playing in the sand. It was great watching him explore and feel the sand in his hands. I think he loved it. By the end of this year he will be able to run and play in the sand. I can't wait to see that. We also had a lovely fish-braai. We had geelstert fish while we were there. It is so relaxing and rejuvenating that we think it might be a good idea to move to Franskraal. We are also thinking of adding beach holiday homes along the coast of South Africa on our website as a lot of people would like to rather rent a home close to the beach and stay for a week or two. We will be looking into this and updating www.lodgesinafrica.com soon.
