All safely in Middelburg

A fantastic day greeted us all and the car park was a buzz with activity this morning. We were able to keep to schedule the entire journey and our stop at Polka in Graaff Reinet was amazing. What a place, what food and the Americano was so worth coming back for. The view from the top of Ravelskloof over the Kamdeboo was its usual breathtaking beauty. Spandau Kop in the distance a beacon to Graaffies and boy were we glad to be flanked by the Tandjiesberge, for our petrol gauge had been orange for 40km already. We climbed steadily over the Sneeuberg and then down into the attractive flats of Middelberg, everyone synching together their arrival at Emmanuel. It was good to be back in Smid Street with Carol, Bertus Rhett and Michelle and of course all the children. Pastor Fred so kindly opened his doors of the church complex for us to use as an ideal overnight stop and Michelle Newton and crew laid on THE most amazing supper. The vibe this evening has been great, old friendships rekindled and new ones made. It's a COLD night with a massive, full moon!
