After more than 36-hours of flawless travel on the part of Luka (less so for his parents, Chris definitely fussed more, and Susan most certainly cried more), we climbed the 43 steps to our lovely home in the quaint seaside village of Scarborough south of Cape Town tonight.
The emotions are indescribable as we once again realize how futile our attempts at planning something as amazing as the birth of a child was. We are grateful to so many people for so many things which we will be writing about in the coming days as we settle in.
For now, just a simple newsflash to let everybody know that after six (sometimes scary, sometimes frustrating, mostly exhausting) weeks, we are finally home, we are together, and we are safe. To celebrate, Chris fired up a 2008 Lanzarac Pinotage - like he says 'nothing says 'we're home' like a good South African Pinotage'
Much more to come, we promise. For now, Luka is tucked into the bed installed and beautifully made up by dear friends. Chris is heating soup left in the freezer by the same couple. And I want to let everyone know that we are doing well.
Stay tuned for the trials and tribulations of travels with a not-supposes-to-have-been-here-yet baby.
