Moving Day!



 On Tuesday we experienced our first moving day with S.  We had booked our first Airbnb knowing that it was a little tight for all of us but the location was perfect for trips back and forth to the baby home and we really didn't need to spend a ton of daytime hours there.  It served us very well and the inside was actually much larger then we anticipated!   It was also a great location as it was walking distance to groceries and coffee shops.  The kids even enjoyed the massive hill, especially sending dad down to get the balls that once headed that way were deep into the shrubbery at the bottom.

Someone told us that you pay extra for flat yards in Durban but in Johanesberg you pay extra for hills.  LOL.  The grass is always greener!

So on Tuesday we packed everything up and drove 7 minutes up the hill to our new house.  This new home is a breathe of fresh air.  We had eyed this place up on other trips but it was always booked up.  This time we managed to book it for 3 weeks. We have easily quadrupled our inside space and the outdoor space is flat and large!  Completed off with an inground trampoline, bikes, fenced pool, tree swing, large verenda and charcoal Braii.  The view of Durban is spectacular.  Hoping to enjoy some good days here bonding, adjusting to our family of 4 and relaxing.  
It also comes with a bonus cottage.  We haven't peaked inside but it is cute from the outside.  So if anyone should have a hankering for a quick trip to South Africa we have some extra space!
