This will be a summary of what we did! Part1
iivii in South Africa
When we came over to South Africa, we brought this Land Rover book with us. As it turned out, we had good use of it, as we had to take the car through COR, which is simular to a MOT in the UK. As always with old car's they got a bit of temperament and we where able to fix the car up while we where over here. It turned out pretty good!
The Land Rover Book!
Kev is cleaning under the car!
I made Swedish Apple Crumble for the South Africans!
We visited Tala Game Reserv quite a few times, during our stay here!
These Guys are also repairing cars, we found some spare parts for ours in here!

Today we have had heavy rain and floods here in SA!
Today we have had heavy rain and floods here in SA, our own car is being fixed to go through the MOT, and is in the garage, we hope to get it back Monday! The car above is therefore not our car.
We walked down in the valley and looked at a stream that normally flows calmly under the road, now have taken over the road totally. The stream is flooding down on the right, and the road has flooded high on the left.
Lots of water, and still raining and the now river is still raising.
There is a pick-nic spot about 200m down the stream, this has turned into a riverbed with flooding water pumping down and into the valley.
We walked a bit higher up, and in the background you can see the flooded river!
At the very edge, its probably a good 30m down.
You can see Kev, at the very edge of the cliff here, where we took the previous photo from, then you get an idea of the steep bank. It's still raining.
The water took the road away here!
The houses on the road up the hill are lucky, there is an other way out, although much longer.We got home had a cup of hot chocolate, and listen to the rain that is still pouring down...
Captain iivii, over and out!

SA Weekly News!
Wednesday last week a nice package came to the shop!
My mum is brilliant, not only did she post our Walking Boots over from Sweden, she also wrapped the box they came in!!! I don't have to tell you twice she loves presents, giving or getting doesn't matter.
The Mysterious Package in the shop!
We have landed safetly in SA, and our bikes have just been assembled from the boxes. I have since then given them a good clean, and they are now serviced and ready to go!
Saturday 14th, we took the first available opportunity to take our Car out! Last year when the Rand was strong, we where able to buy this Landrover Defender 110 TDi. It's quite an old model and needs some work, but it's in running condition at them moment, and we are preparing it to go through MOT or CRR as they call it here.
It did is Job in the Bush, as a 4x4 car its wicked! I need a name for the car however, I can't really call it Mr D, or the Defender... so any suggestions are welcome!
As we arrived in the middle of the Day to Tala Game Reserv, a lot of the animals had made the sensible thing to say hidden in the shade. We did however spot some nice Kudo here!
The 14th which was also Valentines day, as it turned out. Ended nicly in the Game Reserves Resturant, where we ate a Buffé, starter, main and dessert with Guava Juice for myself and Passion for Kevin!
The Locals having the right idea of what to do in hot weather, had a swim in one of the rivers we went past.
Sunday the 15th started with rain, but it cleared up and I where able to go Climbing Yay!
Megan and her boyfriend are climbing!
Megan belaying
Crazy South Africans!

Long Time Coming...
I haven't posted for a while, I'm a busy guy... Busy spending my time in he shop.
So since I'm talking about time and such things its fitting that my new Swedish phrase is:
"Vad är klockan"
This means; What time is it?
Speaking of time once again, Hope Iivii and Kevin have a great time on holiday!
I had to edit this post. Hillevi taught me bad swedish... Den hàr dagen àr så seg - this day is so slow...
Grrrr. Bad teacher! haha

TEAMBUILD... the After Eight Game and more!
So plan was to get together for a meal, all of us, before iivii & Kev are off to SA.
Everybody arrived promptly at 18.00, and we sat down for some hot drinks, Josh had brought home made muffins! They where great! We ordered some pizza, and in the meantime... Anna came up with some activities!

The After Eight Game
How does it work, After Eight?
-------------------------------- http://www.smaland.co.uk http://photography.smaland.co.uk
How does it work, After Eight?You get a box of After Eight and create a duel, you get two people to put a slice of the chocolate on their forehead. Then it's time to get that chocolate to slide down your face and into your mouth! Well... easier said than done.
Fia was the humble winner in the end!
A glas of wine or two later, these two where cracking jokes like never before!
Josh is making faces to the camera.
Lisa = Concentrated
iivii = concentrated!
Hills = Concentrated
Fia was the humble winner in the end!But the Party didn't end there!
Hills grabbed the guitar, and started picking, is sounded really nice... until we all recognized a lovestruck English ballad, from the Ronan from Boyzone... we thought before she started the lyrics that she composed it herself. Lisa then took the guitar and although we had no idea what she played, it sounded nice.
Hills = Concentration
Lisa = Concentration
The crowed is impressed...
Hills the Hulk
After this food had still not arrived... and although the After Eight game is good fun, we soon had finished the box, and Hills found something new to do!
When the pizza finally arrived, we where staving, as you can see. But hunger is an excellent spice to any pizza! And the company was great!

Darth Wader's new Sith a la Hills!
I don't know what we are fighting... maybe the snow, cause snow ain't good for business.
Hills says she is the new Sith, and looking at this picture... it might be so.
I'm not sure what Fia is up too here, but it seems she is trying to stay clear from Hills!
Love at Småland Coffee,
Captain iivii, over and out
