And here we are!

Well, I nearly missed my Monday deadline for my weekly blog update but I think I have a fair reason.  :)

We checked out of the Novotel this morning and moved into our apartment.  Our satallite tv with TATASKY was connected today and we have our internet/land line connected.  Our washing machine, fridge and microwave oven is connected and working.   We are still waiting for our dining room table and to extra chairs for the living room which will be delivered on Wednesday.  

We went on our 1st trip to the grocery store and bought some food.  At least we have some stuff in the cabinet and fridge now.  :)  While we were walking and talking to each other in Afrikaans this lady walked up to us and also started talking to us in Afrikaans.  It turns out they have been here for 8 months already and will be here for 3 years.  They are from Cape Town and we will hopefully meet up with them soon for a visit.

We went to News Cafe last Friday and spend some time there watching the Diwali fireworks.  One thing about this country, they know how to throw a fireworks display.

We will be going to the News Cafe again tonight, one of Teresa old work colleagues are here for a couple of weeks and we will be meeting him for dinner.  

We didn't get much time this last week to take some pictures and video's but I do have a couple which I took in the hotel over Diwali (Festival of Lights).





Hope you enjoy our weekly blog.
