We decided rather last minute that we wanted to go to Justin & Claire's wedding in the Elgin Valley outside Cape Town on 29 January. We were lucky enough to get good tickets with SAA and we were off. We spent the first 5 days catching up with family and friends in Joey's and then headed down to Cape Town for the wedding.

How cute is my niece!
We were lucky enough to get a free night back at our wedding venue as part of the wedding contract. We drove up to Mangwa Valley on Monday afternoon & spent the night. They gave us the honeymoon suite again and a complimentary bottle of champagne! It was sooo lovely to be back there with all the happy memories - we missed you all.

Where's Wally?
Lynchy insisted that I put this photo on the blog (not that I wanted to). It is the spot where we got married - doesn't he look delighted!
Our cute little table for 2
Game drive at Mangwa
We also took in a spot of relaxation and treated ourselves to a half day spa at Mangwanani. That is just pampering like you have never had before : )
Someone's feet were a little ticklish...

I could definitely see myself in one of these : )
We stayed in this luxury tented camp in the Elgin Valley - how awesome are these tents, they even have en-suite bathrooms.
We just love our bubbly!
