How is the Christmas shopping going? I walked past this belt hanger when looking for gifts at Woolies the other day. I love clever storage ideas and my belts are always getting tangled in a shelf in my cupboard so I bought this belt hanger as a gift to myself! I think it’s quite a nice gift idea. I don’t waste time in the morning looking for a specific belt anymore.

Last week World of Birds and this week Butterfly World. I am trying to make it my mission to visit all these little places around Cape Town that I’ve never been to. I have a few more places in mind. I drove past Butterfly World a few years back and I keep meaning to visit and today I finally did. It was lovely to see so many butterflies in one place.

Rueben and I went to World Of Birds in Hout Bay on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was much more than I expected because

1. It’s huge (don’t wear heels)
2. In most places the birds are free to fly right past you.

It was so freaky for me to walk underneath a perch that had an owl sitting on it! I had visions of owls attacking my face. lol. But no injuries were incurred besides my feet because of poor choice of footwear. Granted, I didn’t know that we were going to the World of Birds when I got dressed. All in all, it was quite an experience. There are many more animals to see like monkeys, foxes, badgers, jackals and even alpacas! At the risk of sounding extremely corny, it was an absolute honour to see all these weird and wonderful creatures.

I’ll leave you with my favourite birdy pics of the day and one spider pic.
