Wales was our first introduction to our new vehicles. The Cruisers appeared to cope with anything we threw at them, and as a reward, we would treat them with beautiful sunsets, and sleepy meadows

Lourens playing with his boys

"A weekend away from London!". That's what everyone talk about when you're in the capitol, but few actually go out and enjoy the British countryside.

Eight friends decided to head into the Brecon beacons for a weekend away from the weeks of anguish we had in London. Work take its toll on everyone, and mutually we decided to head into the neighbouring country of Wales for w weekend break. It did us the world of good, and the grey silhouettes of the Big Smoke was exchanged for enticing contrasts of pink and blue 

Musical instruments

It was a weekend filled with views and sounds. We have four different musical instruments. In the evenings after supper, we would start chanting away and after a few minutes find a compatible rhythm everyone was happy with.

Music filled the valley of Wales - farmers and sheep alike must have wondered where these unearthly sounds were coming from!

The roofrack has many uses...

The best view of course was from the top. Before I could say, "Seven-sailors-to-a-sheep", my three travelling companions would jump out and climb upon the roofrack. Screams of delight was heard around every corner, and I had to contain myself by not leaping out as well and letting go of the car

The boys back from playing on the field

It was a weekend filled with kite flying as well. Kites soaring into the blue sky, dreaming of nothing else but our free spirits being thrown about by the wind. We took turns flying the three available kites, the others just lay down for a lunch time snooze, all smiles and no worries
