We orchestrated a weekend retreat this past  weekend. 5 of us rented a Chalet in the central Drakensberg. I'll get the pics  up in the coming days. We got off to a delayed start, and the initial mood was  slightly less than festive as the traffic in Jo'burg was horrendous, and what  should have been a 4 hour drive took 6 hours. So we finally arrived at 10:30 to  the chalet. And in true form, we unpacked, cooked dinner, and sat outside  drinking wine til 3:30 in the morning. Waking up Saturday we just enjoyed the  amazing view from the porch and had a lazy brunch, walked a bit, then had an  evening horse ride, and returned to the chalet to cook up another storm. Sadly  the weekend flew by, but it was a great weekend. We keep talking about "doing  this again soon," but I fear that realistically "again soon" is sometime after  my departure at the end of June.
