Today we went shopping!! We went through Malkerns to the candle factory, and some other small shops.\u00a0 They have a lot of stuff for the tourists.\u00a0 I must say I enjoyed being one!\u00a0 We also went to a shop where they make silver and gold jewlery.\u00a0 I picked a couple of charms for myself.\u00a0 They have beautiful things, and I would have loved to buy more.<\/p>\n

I have been looking for something for the grandchildren, but they do not make the things I have been looking for anymore.\u00a0 So I had to find something different.\u00a0 I am a little disappointed, but next time I come I will know what I have to do to get what I want.\u00a0 Things have changed a lot in the 9 years since we last visited.<\/p>\n

\"Milkshake<\/a>

Milkshake with Oatmeal Biscuit<\/p><\/div>\n

We visited Guava Gallery again and had “tea” there.\u00a0 We ordered a mango milkshake for tea and they brought it with a “lovely” oatmeal biscuit (cookie).\u00a0 It was a nice thick milkshake and tasted very nice.\u00a0 It hit the spot on a hot day.<\/p>\n

\"Vervet<\/a>

Vervet Monkeys--Can you find three?<\/p><\/div>\n

On our way to Guava Gallery, we saw a troop of monkeys.\u00a0 Hopefully my pictures turned out and you can see them.\u00a0 They were having fun running across the road and up the trees.\u00a0 I thought they might visit us for tea at the Guava Gallery, but they didn’t. Lorraine said she has seen them there before.<\/p>\n

In the evening, we had a wonderful storm.\u00a0 The wind came howling through and the trees were really swaying.\u00a0 Lorraine rushed out and brought in her proteas that were in pots outside.\u00a0 We also brought in the patio furniture because the wind was so bad we were afraid that it would blow them around in the screened in porch.\u00a0 We could see the rain all around, so heavy we couldn’t see the hills.\u00a0 There was lots and lots of lightening and the thunder rolled and rolled and rolled.\u00a0 It was quite a storm.\u00a0 It actually didn’t turn out to be as bad as it threatened in the beginning and brought the country some much needed rain.\u00a0 Everyone was very thankful for that.<\/p>\n

In the evening Larry and I were invited to the Pierces again.\u00a0 More wonderful food.\u00a0 Beef curry this time. They sang Happy Birthday to Larry. She had more relatives drop by so there was a houseful again.\u00a0 It was nice to visit with her neices and nephews.\u00a0 We had\u00a0some interesting conversation from politics to chickens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
