http://liseinsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-final-months.html
Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. It's been a while. Luckily, scattered within these busy months, there were still weekends, a trip to the big city, birthday parties, engagement parties, boat parties, and the inescapable farewell parties. My birthday turned into a weeklong extravaganza with a beautiful surprise dinner (thanks Sarah! And mammoth princess cake (thanks Luis! The mastermind behind the birthday dinner (and fellow Taurus).

Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Friday, November 25, 2011. Chef Lumka's New House. Lumka is now just around the corner from me and we have taken full advantage of being neighbours in my last weeks left in South Africa. I am proud to say I was there the very first day she moved into her garden cottage and have now spent many nights learning new recipes to bring home (with perhaps some ingredient substitutes! I know you are all sick of hearing about. I have...

Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Monday, January 28, 2013. Although we have seen a definite change in our weather, with more rain, wind and storms, we have been lucky to avoid the major flooding in the south of the country. Friday, January 18, 2013. Ooh, so trendy. The January issue of VOGUE magazine. A private island in the Quirimbas Archipelago, right on our doorstep. Wednesday, January 16, 2013. So, um, we're going to Tanzania tomorrow.

Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Friday, July 29, 2011. No joking allowed-it has been cold here! We are in the middle of the winter and just had a cold front with snow in the Eastern Cape. Monday, July 25, 2011. After too much time passing without spending time together, Lumka invited me to a girls’ weekend that her sister was organizing in Butterworth. On Friday afternoon we jumped on the crowded public taxi to eGcuwa (Butterworth). I remember driving thr...

Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Até logo - See You Later. That time in Montepuez. People come and go in Pemba; we all know the plane schedules, goodbye parties are a frequent social event, and introductions always include the question of "so, how long are you here for? Ringing in 2013 at Kendwa Rocks, Zanzibar. First time on Ibo Island. Happy Birthday Senhor Riaz! A night at Wilson's. Bush babies in Niassa. Ladies of the Bush.

Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Monday, December 12, 2011. The Last Weekend and See You Later! I wish I could make the claim that I was calm and composed the last weekend, but as these photos hint at, those last 48 hours alternated between laughing and sobbing. I don't know if it was a good or a bad thing that my last 3 weeks were wonderful; if it left me with amazing memories of love and gratitude or made it more painful to say farewell! I also wish I co...

Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Monday, August 29, 2011. With the new motto of “shut up and get in the car”, the call from Sis Ghana on Monday morning that we were going to Mthatha and that I should probably pack an overnight bag meant that I just said “sounds good! The next day, we woke early and met with the Ntinga Development Agency which does development work in the O.R. Tambo Municipality. Mr Filtane invited us to an indaba. As usual, men and women w...

http://liseinsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Journeys to the southern hemisphere part i: south africa and part ii: mozambique. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. A Little Piece of Paradise. On the road again! Magic is real and a little piece of it hides on Ibo Island. Not even a full week outside of Pemba city limits and I felt like I had flown into a new world. . The hundreds of pictures we took (thanks to Ashlea and Sarah for sharing their photos) will help tell the story as I was enthralled from the moment we got out of Pemba until our return four ...
