And now, we wait.

We didn't want to break the habit of visiting the Volkswagen dealer early Saturday morning so we drove down around 10AM. We ordered the car but we would let them know the colour later today or on Monday. We wanted to see a red one too so we could decide between black or red better.

The dealer has a red demo model on show in a few shopping malls that they will raffle off (tickets are $50 each and only 9000 tickets are available). This weekend it's in the mall next to the Central Market so we drove by to check it out. It's actually a very nice red and I like it better than black. Nicole likes black better still though. I dislike black less than Nicole dislikes red. I know, it's very complicated. We thought about it while doing some shopping at the Central market.

We went to the deli to get some Dutch stuff.

Our friend Danny seems to have issues finding a certain bean that's called 'kapucijners' in Dutch. We got plenty overhere... Should we send some down? (Or is that up?)

There is a stand that specialises in roo-meat. We got Karin some roo.

By then we had decided on the car; black. We called the decision through, paid a $1000 deposit and now we wait 4-5 months for the factory in Mexico to produce one and ship it over...

This is my loot from the deli: Chocolate flakes for on bread, crisp-bakes to make meatballs with and 'kruidnoten' which I can't be arsed to translate.

We received word from Richard that he had 'heaps of meat' to get rid of and he needed help. He really is the BBQ master. My steaks are always perfectly well done.

Max the beagle kept a close watch on all ongoing activities.

The BBQ

We went to Richard and Debbie's place today for a BBQ and some trivial pursuit.

Since everybody brought something to be cooked we ended up with a large variety of meat. This is about a quarter of what we had...

We had a fun afternoon until we had to leave to feed the birds. When we left it was pissing down with rain but we made it home safe and sound, and also half frozen by the way...
