Bitter/sweet memories not only for your Mom but all of us now visiting places familiar to us with glimpses of childhood.
Glad you managed as a family to get your feet onto the sand.
If you still wondering about the sturdy old map books, I am one who still uses them, never gets lost and will not have burbling in my ears when I drive by some faceless soul.... 😄
LOL, I do trust that voice especially when up in Joburg as I get totally lost there but still love the old map books when on holiday;)
Yep, the world has certainly changed in a big way!
Thanks for your thoughtful caring comments Joan
Even with the directions given in Johannesburg one gets lost, new one way streets and many of the old land marks we used to know are gone. Have a wonderful weekend Lizelle.
