Day 13/14

Checked out of resort, and on the road by 9.15am, we decided to have a last coffee, and something to eat at Penny's Bridge, Hazy View. I couldn't face a waffle, but Bry managed a couple of pancakes wth lemon and sugar. An hours drive to Nelspruit (Kruger) Airport followed. Very pretty terminal with thatched roof and ornamental gardens.
Then an hours flight to Jo'burg with S Airways, surprisingly efficient and complimentary soft drinks & crisps. Arrived at 2.30pm, long wait ahead as our flight doesn't depart until 8.30pm.  By the time we had collected our luggage and transferred to the International Terminal another hour had passed, Main terminal is lovely, plenty of interesting shops and restaurants too. Seemed like as good idea to spend our remaining currency, which was very easy to do.
Flight took off on time, and landed ahead of schedule at 6.20am. We anticipated a long delay through immigration; but pleasingly we were through inside 15minutes. In fact we had cleared the terminal with our luggage inside 40 minutes.

Next stop Bristol, dropped Bry off, and headed on back to Bovey. All ok at home, grass looks like a field, too long to mow, will buy sheep tomorrow.

Well that's it, it's all over now, after all the time spent planning it, it went so very fast. save for the memories, it has been such a meorable trip, and we have had such goood fortune. Found it quite emotional at times, we alll missed Stu so much, he really should have been with us. Felt his presence quite often, especially at times of hilarity or mischief, such as when the Gt White tried to kiss Bry, or Bill's dodgy traffic cop, or the  evening at  dodgy gay restaurant that made us weak with laughter.

I really did see 60 in with fun, and Bry's 30th next week will not be forgotten. Hope you have enjoyed sharing it with us.

Apologies again for spelling and grammatical errors caused by hasty posts. Hope to add some photos in the near future.
