Treasuring the last couple of hours with Livingstone the new super excited owner of our beloved 1962 Series II Landy was picked up in Livingstone (what else?) at the George Airport to meet his new love.

Time was really running out …… we need to say a final goodbye.

last-of-livingstone-003We knew that this hour will come, but all the while we were hoping from the bottom of our hearts for the slightest chance of NOT parting with Livingstone.  Somehow reality was catching up on us.    We were holding thumbs that Livingstone will find a really passionate new owner and we were fortunate enough to find him.    Thank you Kevin for being just what we were hoping for – an enthusiastic and loving new owner of a classic!

I have to say that both hubby and myself were in tears when seeing him driving off one last time, but we were promised that we will see Livingstone on top of the Rocky Mountains in the USA.   You will have to keep your promise, Kevin!  We will be following your journey with Livingstone.

]]> AN EMOTIONAL DECISION http://travelbucket.co.za/an-emotional-decision/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=an-emotional-decision Tue, 13 Sep 2016 11:22:57 +0000 http://travelbucket.co.za/?p=2159 This will not be a long post, but rather a reflection to capture the times we had with Livingstone. A very emotional decision was made last night to sell Livingstone.    It is time to say goodbye to  our beloved Landy.    As I am writing this my eyes are filled with tears and my  heart with a little bit of sadness  … Both my husband and I got so attached to our daily drive with the dogs.  Even the dogs associate the sound of the Landy and the jingle of the keys with their daily walk. I hope that we will find the right owner for Livingstone and that his new owner will be a real Landy lover and drive him with the necessary passion and respect.  Go well Livingstone, you are leaving your oil marks in my heart ….
