trienkie en stefan

I  was as happy as a lark camping for the night at loch Etive, and after I had my dinner, I made coffee, and sat dreaming at the river for ages. I had found Tabbard, a South African mosquito repeller at the Wee Minden, a small gift shop next to the Kings House hotel, and that was wonderful against Scotland's biggest pest, the Midge!
I slept like a log, and was up with the birdies next morning, sitting with my coffee at the riverside,thinking about Trienkie and Stephan that was coming for a visit the next week.
I had gotten them the caravan again, as it was cheaper than staying in one of the hotels, and as the South African Rand was quite weak at that stage, it suited them just fine. I was sad when I realized that it was time to pack up and go back, as it was another lovely day, and just thinking of my workplace wanted me to just drive on, and never go back! But, if I wanted to stay in Scotland, I had to work!
After a long week that felt like a year, I set of for the airport to fetch the kids, and it was decided that I would sleep with them in the caravan that first night. But first we had dinner at the Ben Shaen, afterwards sitting at my hotel just talking and me of course almost getting a kingsize fit when I saw the size of the pizzas that was served, and the disgust on the guests's faces, but the kids calmed me down, reminding me that it was not my hotel!
It was the longest night ever, as I bally well did not sleep one wink, sleeping in the caravan with them, with Stephan's snores that started just as I was falling asleep, making the caravan rock around like Elvis on a wild night, while Trienkie's threats of chucking him out became more and more intense.
Luckily I was off the next day, and we all slept late, as my son in law stopped snoring the moment it started getting light, a strange phenemonen indeed, and like all people sawing rafters through the night, he moaned that he never slept a wink!
I had been to Farm  Foods, a huge supermarket selling mostly frozen foods, and bought all kinds of goodies, and we had a huge Scottish breakfast, and Stephan, after first eyeing the Haggis a bitty longfaced before tucking in, decided that it was the most delicious food he had tasted in a long time. Trienkie didn't share his taste, but it didn't bother me, as I have tried it, but never built up a big liking!
Both of them loved hiking in the mountains, and had climbed Kilamanjaro the previous year, so I took them to Ben Lawers that first day, and we spent the whole day just walking around on the hillside, enjoying the view over Loch Tay on the one side and the rolling green hills with the river flowing lazily through Glen Lyon on the other side, before we went down to my spot where we made lunch and swam for the rest of the day.
