Joburg ZOO & first two weeks back at training

Hello team,

Well unfortunity ash has gone back to New Zealand and not only that but she has taken my camera with her lol (just jokes: But I now must get one).

Well I have been back at work for the part 2 weeks now and things are going fine, I must say I did enjoy being on holiday though lol!!!!

Well on Sunday the 13th Ash flew back but not before going to a Flee market and the Joburg ZOO! We had an amazing day once in Joburg and the Zoo was spetatcular! The flee market was also something to see! Anyway I have to wait until I recieve the photo's before I can put them up as we couldn't put them on the computer.

At the flee market there was heaps of stuff for tea towels to huge carving for your gardens. but there was not only one but there was one dedicated to african stuff so that was cool, but like ash said if they didn't come over and continually say I'll give you good price, I'll give you good price and boombard you, you might buy alot more.

Well Following the flee market we went to the Zoo, had lunch and took off on our next safari lol (well I guess you can't call it that, but hey).

There was everything, (elephants, tigers, rino's, buffalo, hippo's, garaffi's, lions, zebras, seals, bears : bear and even a pola bear). It was a amazing day and a great way to finish our holiday. Anyway following that I have just been training the boys hard ( we had testing on the Monday and Tuesday: We have a sport science department that complete all the training for us but they are blimin hopeless (sorry can't spell to well: but I have started reading a bit more, so mum you will be proud and hopefully I can improve)!

Anyway I move onto campus on Monday so that will be nice and did I say I have a new car (well on for 10 days but it got everything for a alarm, cd player and is a 2007 VW (cool a)!

Well I will write again soon with some nice photo's

Hope everyone is well and keeping safe

(2 and a half months gone, 9months to go) It's gone pretty fast so far and I'm enjoying myself

take care
