Road Trip to Gauteng

Last week I sent an email to my family in Dubai and the UK to keep them up to date with our movements. Things have happened really quickly and our preparation for this trip kept us very busy .....

Hi there precious family,

Want to just make sure you're all 'in the loop' about our current plans. Things are happening fast and furious and I'm not always sure who I've told what .... So here goes:

Tomorrow morning we are all driving up to Pretoria. We will be overnighting in Bloemfontein and staying at the 'holiday homes' at the Correctional services (prisons!) On Thursday we'll arrive in Pretoria and are staying with our good friends, Kevin and Caroline Coughlan - for the first week or so. Suzi (from Dubai!) and Anthea (from Valhalla) have also offered for us to stay with them so we will be moving around.

The reason we're travelling to Gauteng is because we've found a stall at the Hillfox Market (Weltevreden Park) on the west rand. We'll be trading there this Sunday and Monday, and then every Saturday and Sunday from then on, in hopes of selling of our 3-in-1 jackets and powerbanks.

We have about one-third of our stock with us, and plan to return to get more stock in a couple of weeks or so. We aren't sure how long we'll be in Pretoria, but only really have till the end of August to sell the jackets before summer weather kicks in.

We're in for great times of catching up with family and friends, as well as visiting lots of 'attractions' with the kids. We also plan to meet with key retailers about our products while we are there.

We are still on BBM/Whatsapp and only a call away ....
Lots of love and hugs and kisses from

Bohnanza

Well this blog is about a German card game called Bohnanza.

I was first introduces to Bohnanza by my too best friends Jacob Timothy Lange and Lukas Daniel Lange who owned a set, I soon came to love playing it.

Then a year and 5 months back we (my family and) moved to S.A, south Africa is a beautiful country and were we live is on the Garden Route which is the most beautiful place South Africa I think!

And you might of heard this but my Mom used to say when we experienced the first winter, that she thought we had gone to England instead of South Africa.

Well back to the main story, Bohnanza! Well having a love for card games and board games I decided to look for a set on Amazon.co.uk but they costed over R200  and I didn’t have that kind of money so I looked on the internet for pictures of the cards such as Green bean, Blue bean, Garden bean, black eyed bean and chili bean and found out ho many cards of each are in a pack and was going to print them and laminate them but then at the dinner table one night I told my Grandparents about my idea and they told me that there friend was going to Germany in june and that she had a daughter living there who could find it and the give to her mom so that she could come back with it for cheaper I waited and waited and we found some more people who were going to Germany and  then we found of a lady from the Dutch association who was in Holland at the moment and in Holland there was this online shop were you could buy bohnanza there or the could send it to you sp we asked her if she could pick it up there for ten Euros and bring it back with her and she did. So after long waiting spans I will get it today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got it - have played a few games already and am LOVING it!
