Our Summer Holidays in Pictures.

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

In the previous post I mentioned that we did not travel this summer holidays. It was the first Christmas holidays ever for us as a couple and parents that we have spent in our house. We normally go on a family vacation or travel to either my parents house or Cullo’s parents house. Like any working parent, my initial plan for the holidays was to play tourist here in Cape Town and entertain the kids to make up for all those days I was working. However I quickly realised that it wont be necessary, because kids were so relaxed and enjoying each […]

Weekend getaway Recap – Montagu Springs

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

Without further ado, lets throw it back to the day we took a quick family vacay. If you are interested in reading the trailing posts for this short vacation please read here and here. It is a breather for this Mamma to have 6 years old and a 1 year old. They are always on the move, together. I remember the vacations when Muli was still our only child. She was missing out on most fun activities because momma and dad are not finding joy in running around all day. Now that she has a play buddy, she take full advantage of playing. The […]

Weekend getaway – Protea Farm Tractor Ride

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

I am sitting here it is 20h15, I just tucked kids to bed. Cullo is at church. I needed to drown my sorrows. So I reached out to my laptop, the joys of being a bloger. Ha!. Today I did a mistake, I hit a send button too soon. Oops!. I sent an email requesting a quote from a crontacor. And guest what was attached?. The design drawings for a system I am requesting a quote for and a budget I sent to a client. That means the contractor have seen the budget for a job. After mourning for about an hour I said […]

Weekend Getaway Montagu Springs – Zee won’t sleep

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

Last week we kicked off our weekend with a weekend getaway. Since it was school holidays we thought it will be a good idea to take a breather. We spent two nights at Montagu Springs. We had plans to pass by some interesting places en route our destination but, as soon as we set in the car Zee slept. It felt unfair to wake her up. The drive was 2.5 hours so we just drove straight to our destination. We checked in On Friday and left on Sunday afternoon. We stayed in a cozy Villa, nestled in the lovely greenery of Montagu Springs. Far […]

Hanging with African Penguins at Boulders Beach.

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

The best things in life aren’t planned…They simply just happen. That’s how the past weekend turned out. We planned to go hang around with Penguins at Boulders Beach. The plan was for us to be there at 10am and be back just past lunch time, in time for Zee’s nap time. I wanted to go watch The Black Panther at the cinema. As it turned out, by 10am we were parked at our friends house drive through. There was no one in the house. Their reason was understandable though. They woke up early to run some errand s, on their […]

Around Cape Town with Friends from France.

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

This is the continuation from the previous post. Check here for the previous post. Cape Town is a very popular holiday destination. I know so many off bitten paths in Cape Town, but for someone visiting cape Town for the first time there are three places they looking forward to see. The Majestic Table Mountain. The white sandy beaches and the historic Robben Island. My visitor’s only request was “please take us to Mandela’s cell”. And my reply was …consider it done. I put my plan on paper and wrote down every thing we will be doing together. They were came […]

When is the good time to visit Cape Town with kids…

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

It all started with a message saying “…When is the good time to visit Cape Town”. My answer was if you want to catch the ZA festive vibe, visit in the beginning of December to the first week of January. There are lots of people at the tourist attraction places and it is all fun. BUT visiting with kids I will choose two weeks after festive craziness. To my delight they chose the latter. I was looking forward to play a tourist guide. It was very easy to prep a schedule given that they have two kids. I also have […]

The Perfect Holidays Part 3

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

I know this is the second month of the year and I am still talking about December holidays, but who forgets good time spent with family?. Not me at least. Click here and here to catch up on previous posts about the perfect holidays. On our way from Johannesburg I stocked up on all the goodies for kids. I could not wait to see Muli and my family. Driving home was pleasant. I have seen North West Provence in all seasons and have driven many kms in rain, thunders and sunshine but seeing the rivers running, the dams being full […]

GO HIKE TABLE MOUNTAIN

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel

I have a beautiful view of Table Mountain every day when I drive to work. As you can imagine, I drive to work in the mornings when it is raining, cloudy and when the skies are clear blue. My favourite mornings are when when The Majestic Table Mountain get to be covered with a blanket of cloud. It is a view to be hold. I always feel like Table Mountain is calling me because of the daily view. The other day I decided to answer to the call. It was the second day of spring and I welcomed spring with […]

Redstone Hills – Buffelskloof farm Vacay Part 1

Written by Nez, Posted in Travel, Uncategorized

Who else cannot stand the ‘I am bored mommy’ talk from the kids during school holidays?. My hand is up. Last week Saturday we packed the kids and drove 6 hours to this beautiful place – Redstone Hills in Oudtshoorn. The journey was excellent. Both of our kids are excellent little-travelling-buddies. We took Route 62 instead of our normal N1 route. I am sure every body has heard about or has experienced the vibe on Route 62. Believe me when I say the vibe is strong. The vibe on this route makes me to just want to be out of control. You know the feeling […]
