I'm leaving on a jet plane....


Hi Everyone!

Welcome to our new blog! Thanks to Phil for the inspiration for the name, we think it has a nice ring to it =)

As many of you know we are leaving Cape Town, South Africa to go live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, the idea being to do as much travelling as possible!! We leave SA on 27 Dec, spend 3 days exploring Dubai and then head to London on 31 Dec. The month of Jan will be spent visiting Bron's sister and brother-in-law (Michelle and Graham) and exploring London. If you are in the area let us know! We would love to see you =)

We then head to Amsterdam on 1 Feb. After hopefully finding a place to stay the plan is to travel around Europe for the months of Feb and March. Justin starts his new job with Royal Haskoning on 1 April (April fools?). Bron is yet to find a job but is happy to plant tulips for a while ;~)

At the moment we are in Uvongo on the South Coast of Durban visiting Justin's parents and attending the wedding of Rob & Lisa which was super kewl. We head back to CT on Mon (20 Dec), pack up our flat, have Christmas with the family and head to Dubai on the 27th.

We hope you will enjoy following our travels around Europe and find out more about 'Going Dutch' with us. Become a follower and leave us messages! We are looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Below are some pics of the farewell boat cruise and drinks Justin's office held for him, our time in the Drakensberg and Uvongo, Lisa's wedding and other bits n pieces.
Till next time when we will be on the cold soggy island covered in snow...
