Weekend

So.....saturday was my dads 60th birthday party.....he loves cigars, wines and meat.....so what better way than celebrating with a braai at African Swiss.....So party would start at 230..... Unfortunately the weather didnt wanna quite play along...but i guess u need to take it as it is......so.....as we arrived the wines and beers were already flowing...people arriving in drips and drabs...but exactly how it should be....casual.....starters...Pizza slices....hmmmm.....they were good....not something i would order there again....but hunger...almost anything tastes good....right.....anyway....the bacon crispy....so thats good.....then time for braai.....tbone....lamb chops...and bratwurst (and NOT german bratwurst BUT proper st galler, swiss, bratwurst...AMAZING.......The tbone was a little cold, lamb chops APPARENTLY were good....and the salads....well im gonna say it wasnt potato salad but rather mayo with a touch of potato....no joke....anyway...who cares about the food (and for once in my life i actually didnt care that the food was not great)

Later were some speeches... Unfortunately the bubbly hit me too quickly so dont quite remember what was said....heard it was excellent speeches though....i said something...short and sweet.....cause public speaking is definitely not my strength or my favourite thing to do.....the main point....my dad loved it so all good.....now to the bubbly....boschendal....definitely cannot go wrong with it.....the red.....warwick....white....no idea cause i didnt see it......

Here is a few pics.....

So....after speeches....and food...It was all up to having a good time with the music and wine.....and damn....we all had an amazing time....then iT started to rain and it became windy....hell....that just meant bed time...unfortunately i was wearing heels and the hut....hmmmmm....steep way up...wot a climb....by the time we reached top....i was out of breath.....i dont think i ever undressed so fast.....jumped into bed and pretty much passed out....what an awesome day.....happy 60th dad.....

Next morning.....some good egg and muesli breakfast.....and then off to Peacanwood for golf....man.....so cold....oh well..some driving range to warm up....then get a cart and we were on our way....not sure what the hell happened....i ended on 29 points....believe it or not....shit....and i beat kim....so now we are even...he won one....i one won....and we drew once...hmmmmm...gonna be close....but i guess that is the fun part....and yes of course the playing. But i must admit although Peacanwood has a lot of bunkers....its not as difficult as Bryanston.....what a great weekend....and next week ill be writing about Franschhoek.....

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim. Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium  Sofia in the Playground at the Aquarium Kim Enjoying the Aquarium The following day was VIP and unfortunately Sofia and I did not make it as Sofia was just way too tired....but that'

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
