On Saturday afternoon, Beth and I set off for a trek up Loleza Peak - the mountain rising up behind my home (see photographs from before). We had no intention of making it to the top, but we got a good way up and could see for miles. We could even make out our respective homes, our office, my cycle route to work etc! I've tried to mark them in red - the top right oval is the office, and the big oval is the town centre, and the cross is where my house is (hidden by trees).
It was hot work and a steep climb - coming back down made our legs feel all shaky. Some beautiful flowers also dotted the hillside - possibly orchids? We could see the rain coming in from the hills on the other side of town, but somehow it never reached us, and had passed on by the time we descended. At the peak of our climbing we stopped for a rest to admire the view and to enjoy our banana chips snack!

Glad to see your new news, KJ - thanks.
The flowers look breathtaking; the fellowship nights tasty and the ride into work doesn't look so bad after all!!!!!!
Love from us all.
I remember banana chips!! A dear lady with nothing wanted to give Bruce a present on his return to UK from Sierra Leone and he arrived with a huge bag of banana chips! They were delicious!
