Seeing as it was such a beautiful evening we decided to go for a walk through the neighbourhood. We were enjoying the walk so much that we lost track of time. The sun was setting when we realised we were in an area that did not look familiar. There was some strange and wonderful things happening in the area, so we decided to make some notes. The following are some random observations and in no particular order.
We found ourselves in a little tree lined street with five distinctive houses. We saw a red house, and according to the name on the door, this was Penny’s place. At one of the houses, with the name Ansie on the gate, we were in for a big surprise. We spotted a large animal in the yard. We know better than to report the location of this place, as this animal is hunted to extinction for its horn. At some stage we got the smell of coffee that was very inviting. Thinking back it was while we were looking at the pink house. A bit confusing was seeing James drinking some red wine while admiring the sunset. We also noticed that the pink house was immediately to the right of the green house. Somewhere along the line we spotted an irritated elephant flapping its ears and stomping the earth. The yellow house looked very traditional. When we got to the middle house we spotted some milk bottles at the front gate. Seems we must have gone back in time for this story. At the first house there was a decorative name-board identifying the owner as Chris. The lion living in the backyard of a house, nextdoor to one where a noisy event was going on did not look happy. Nextdoor to the traditional house there was a buffalo. By now it was getting dark and we spotted some unknown person drinking brandy. Derrick is still into snail mail. Another reminder that we might have moved back in time. The last piece of information I remembered was that Chris lived next door to the blue house. Just before we left I got this earie feeling that some kind of animal was watching our every move. By now it was too dark to identify it. At another house we spotted a heap of empty bottles. Could only make out the following letters Chiva… By now you should have all the information to be able to answer a few simple questions that will lead you to the treasure. Happy hunting.
