April was a busy month for me as my daughter got married and we had a whirlwind few days before as we took her new American family up to the Berg to get to know them and show them this magical part of our country.
I managed to get some flying in with students and enjoyed as always the fabulous scenery our coastline offers. We did some low-level flying over the breakers north of Durban which is exhilarating as we sweep along just above them.
This photo is taken from just above my house, giving a slightly elevated view of where we are in Durban |
