Big Cat Park - 9 Aug 2012

On Saturday, 9 August 2012, my almost-sister-in-law, Vanya, my dad, my son Damian and I went to the Big Cat Park in Stellenbosch.  The weather was divine, a break from all the rain and snow we've been having.

Peninsular Drive - 4 Aug 2012


 On Sunday, 5 August 2012, my dad, my brother Jay, his girlfriend Melanie, my hubby Squirrel and I took a long drive all around our Peninsular, starting on the southern side by Muizenberg, driving to Simon's Town where we hijacked my dad's day and stopped at the Scratch Patch, and ending up at Hout Bay, where we had the most divine fish and chips made in the Western Cape, from On The Rocks.  Here are some photos of our amazingly beautiful country.
