Africa New Life Guest House

6:46am Saturday 1 Oct 2011

Yesterday was amazing for so many reasons. We saw Miles for the first time. We arrived in Africa. Africa! We celebrated Maddie's birthday, eating a great African dinner at Republika with Peter and three other families, babies in tow, who are a few weeks ahead of us.

After a much needed good night's sleep, I'm just lying in bed. It's still mostly dark outside. Every so often, a dog barks. Aside from the uniqueness of the bird sounds, I could be anywhere in the world.

Gardens at the New Life Guest House


The Africa New Life Guest House where we're staying is a really nice place. Through the gates and up the driveway, the main house is surrounded by gardens. We have two rooms. Andrea and Maddie are in one with two double beds. Joe and I are next door in a room with three bunk beds. We share a bathroom. The guesthouse serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We look forward to eating here today, breakfast and lunch. We met another couple staying here who we found out founded the guest house back in 2006. They have a lot of stories to tell and provide a thorough history of the place.
