Well, I'm BACK! ;o)

The wedding was 110% perfect. Nothing went wrong which was awesome! I'll be posting up some pics when I get them developed and scanned in. Our wedding venue, Avianto, was fantastic and everyone who was there reckoned it was the best wedding they have ever been to. It looked like it cost a million bucks, but was actually not too expensive.

The honeymoon was great too. Michelle and I headed down to Bloemfontein straight after the ceremony on the Sunday afternoon. We stayed at a place called Hillhouse for the first night and then Monday morning we headed down to Knysna. We stayed at Ridgeview Guesthouse in Knysna and spent the next 5 days being tourists and going on all the ferries and seeing everything there was to see. We even found time to go for a massage and salt scrub session at a health spa in Plettenberg Bay. WOW! That was awesome! Worth every cent. ;o)

From there we went to Jeffrey's Bay and stayed at Astonwoods. It was not too bad, but the place was really noisy as the floors were wood and the other guests would stomp around at all hours of the night making noises... Not that we were sleeping or anything.. Heh heh We spent tons of cash at the Billabong, Quiksilver and Roxy factory shops and bought loads of stuff for next to nothing.

From there we decided to head to the South Coast of Durban and stayed at The Blue Marlin Hotel in Scottborough. It was a two day trip to get there and we stopped overnight in East London... Stayed on a farm type place as all the other B&B accomodation was fully booked due to the Cricket World Cup. It was not that good, but it was a place to sleep.

The rest of the honeymoon we spent on the beach and getting burnt! We did take a day to go see the Gateway... A HUGE shopping mall up near Umhlanga. Saw a movie there and just walked around as the day was overcast and drizzly.

Then we headed home a day early to sort out the house. It looks like a store room what with all the boxes and stuff from my place now there too. This past weekend was spent sorting through things and getting some sort of order to the place. We also spent our wedding gift money on a new TV and video machine. Also finally getting a TV license too... No good being pirate TV viewers now hey? ;o)

Tomorrow I'm on course so I won't be at work! YAY! More later!
