Happy New Year!
Well it’s been a while since I have made a blog entry, with all the excitement of going to South Africa to visit our family and friends for Christmas and New Year and then getting settled into 2012 there is a lot to tell. But I thought I would take the opportunity to look back at 2011.
The years really seem to fly by and I can’t believe we have already said goodbye to 2011. One night lying in bed I thought back to 2011 and what an epic year it has been for us, with so many big and life changing events.
Here is a recap of some of the highlights:
January – The year started on a great note with the continuation of our holiday in South Africa. We spent a couple of months in our homeland (starting with my sister’s wedding in December), travelling and spending time with family and friends.

February – Our Wedding! Followed by an amazing honeymoon. This has to be the highlight of the 2011! On the 5th of February 2011 we had a magical day getting married and celebrating with our family and friends.
Then a couple of days later we left on our honeymoon in Tanzania, starting off at the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti and ending with a week on Zanzibar island.
June – Officially moving to Geneva! Hubby had come over a couple of months earlier while I finished work in England. Then at the beginning of June I officially made the move to Geneva to join him and our exciting Swiss adventure started!
July - SA again for our friends, Gareth and Jess’s, wedding. And another great opportunity to see family and friends.

August – Another wedding, this time in England. And welcoming a new nephew to the world (although we did not meet him till December)!

November - Our first trip to Paris! What a lovely city, we fell in love and will be sure to go back a few times to explore and experience the culture further. To read about our trip you can read my previous blogs (http://www.keep-calm-and-eat-cake.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-heart-paris.html, http://www.keep-calm-and-eat-cake.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-heart-parisday-2.html and http://www.keep-calm-and-eat-cake.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-heart-parisday-3.html).
December – Our holiday in South Africa! Be sure to read the next blogs as I will be telling about what we got up to during our 2 week stay.
So all in all a pretty busy and eventful year for Hubby and I. Definitely one we will remember forever!
Bring on 2012 and the exciting adventures that lay ahead…
This was a trip of a lifetime and I will never forget the amazing experiences we had.
