February in Skopje

 

This was an up and down month for us. We had to say goodbye to Sevgji that went to Bitola, and we had more snow. We were struggling with visa’s and forms and more forms and even more forms.

We homeschooled the kids, this was fun, but sometimes less than fun.  Emotions went up and down. Sometimes more down than up.

 

So lets just put February in pictures – I think!

Ons het een aand gaan oorslaap in ‘n grot hotel in Göreme.  We had some trouble with the GPS, although it spoke English all the other info was in Turkish.  So after period of trial and error we wound the town.  We also met up with other people from South Africa which was really nice. It was like entering a surreal place when you look over the Cappadocia valley. Fairy chimneys and the rock formations was just amazing.  The kids were entering one cave after another – eager to explore.
