Port Edward, Eastern Cape, April 9
After we left Tsi Tsa Falls Lodge and Farview School, we drove to a lovely lodge called Ku Boboyi, which was owned by a French chef...needless to say, the food was, once again, amazing! It was a beautiful setting at the top of a hill, nestled in the woods, overlooking the beautiful Indian Ocean.
It was a very comfortable place to end our trip. We took a ride down to the ocean where some of us swam (Seth - of course, Wally - of course, John, Jimi, Tom, Janet, Abbi, Amanda and Katy) and some of us just waded...
me, Diana and the rest stayed on the shore. It was cold, but not too cold. It was very cool to say we were in the Indian Ocean!
When we got back from the ocean, the kids jumped in the pool...they couldn't get enough of the water.
This was what was awaiting us in the dining room. This chicken was very attached to this chair...in fact, to move him out of the dining room, they had to remove the whole chair. He stayed here practically the whole time. He was very protective of his chair. At least he wasn't a rooster, so we wouldn't have to worry about waking at 4 am to a loud "cock-a-doodle-do"!
Dinner was, as you might expect, exquisite, as we had a French chef cooking for us....From left: Jimi, Christi, Diana, Abbi, Katy, Wally, Liz, Brian V.

My food was so pretty I had to get a picture of it!
This dessert rivaled the bread pudding at Cyrano's (for those of you who don't know, this is the world's best dessert!). And yes, I did gain at least 5 pounds on this trip, even with all of the energy we expended....
Some drinks and revisiting our wonderful time together...

Seth saying good bye to this lovely place...Wally, Seth, Diana, Janet and I got up at 4:45 am and went to the beach this morning...Wally and Seth took a run and the girls and I took a lovely walk. It was windy and dark and glorious! So glad we did this!
