On year later (23 Sep 2007)

Yes I can't believe it myself. We have been married for 1 year now. Remember the 23 September 2006, yes that was the date.

So Anton had to do something for our 1st anniversary. So he found this very exclusive lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve called Rhulani Lodge (http://www.rhulanilodge.co.za/) As you all know Anton is a budding Steve Irwin or wants to be like Steve was.

So it was off to the bush but again Sanchia did not know a thing until they stopped at the Madikwe Gate - sneaky..... It was very dry and the Elephants kept on emptying the whirlpools so they (rangers) not to fill them up again. So there was no swimming or "diving". The crowd that was with us were from all walks of life and generally just a nice bunch. The Rangers were excellent and we would go on +- 3 hours game drives at a time twice a day. We also followed 2 lion brothers, that killed a Eland, for 2 days. That was awesome !

It was a wonderful, romantic weekend and Sanchia enjoyed it!

Marx & Wiese Travel party

Well August 2007 was time for us (Sanchia, Anton, Daleen & Wikus) to travel Europe again. We also wanted to see Steven Canham (Sanchia's brother) in Sweden, visit Venice, see the French with their metal tower called Eiffel but also spend some time in London. If you want to see what we were up to, then visit http://getjealous.com/amarx Enjoy !



Anton & Sanchia

The McCallums in SA (Jozi)

Our friends from Ireland Hugh, Aideen & the kids, spend the day with us whilst visting SA. We thought it best to give them at least a wildlife experience, after all this is Africa. They were fantastic hosts while we visted Ireland. We took them The Elephant Sanctuary at Hartbeespoort dam (http://www.elephantsanctuary.co.za/) for the morning. What an experience, from seeing these huge animals to actually touching and feeling them. Woo hooo! (Steve Irwin style).

Hunting with the boys

Well it was that time of the year again and this year is no different. Yea you guest it right, we needed something for the pot (they never do it just for fun they say, I am not so sure that they did not want to escape the wives for once?) They left here on the 25 May 2007 and returned on Sunday 27 May 2007 very sunburned and tired. Must have been running after the buck . . . . ?

Ian, Anton, Tom & Shaun went to a farm in the Virginia area. They've been going there for the last 10 years; well it feels that long because it is like an annual pilgrimage every year. There were preparations, arrangements, checklists, repairing, packing, equipment, lots food and drinks. “Die hele gedoente” This is also executed with military precision.

As you can see no buck in sight but a lot of eating, braaiing, chatting & just whatever were there to talk or argue about.

They came home with meat so they probably got something.
