Cave

We enjoyed exploring an old mining cave/tunnel in a nearby town called Barberton. It was about 800 m long and flashlights were definitely needed. It has been raining a lot so we had to navigate a few large puddles and also encountered a few disoriented bats.

Our LEGO tournament takes place in 6 days so we are gearing up for a busy week. There will be 16 teams from the area competing. Three other tournaments have been held across South Africa already. The high score is 225 (out of 400). The g33k$ think they have a good chance at getting 400 by next week....we'll see as they often feel confident going into the regional tournament and then something unexpected comes up.

In many ways our time is passing too quickly with just over 4 weeks remaining. Perhaps when the LEGO commitments scale back it will feel like it is time to come home. Michele and I plan to take the kids to the coast for the final week after the SA championship LEGO tournament takes place on Dec 4th. We have 2 nights booked at a hostel and 5 nights at a campsite. We hope to see turtles laying eggs on the beach and do some snorkeling and seeing the sights.
