Rueben and I spotted this beautiful beach when we drove on Chapman’s Peak a couple of years ago. We never got around to visiting it and today we finally did. It was serene! I definitely want to go back and maybe take my twin nieces who have just started to walk run. The white sands seem to go on forever. I think they will go crazy just running around.

The name of the beach is Noordhoek beach in case you want to visit. Have a great week and enjoy pay day!

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.

On Saturday we took a drive to Franschoek. The drive there was gorgeous and the little town has lots to do. We visited the monument, the museum, the shops, bought chocolate and had lunch. I feel like I want to go back and spend a weekend there in a cottage with an awesome view!

I spotted our national flower looking so pretty that I couldn’t resist snapping a pic.

Yep, I love to go to markets on Saturdays (ok on Sundays as well). This Saturday I was at the SmallBiz Indaba at the Blue Bird Garage. It wasn’t just a market but it definitely had that market vibe that I love. It was all about people showing what their small businesses had to offer. I found it quite inspiring to see all these people trying to make a success of something they started themselves. Besides that, I ate too much food, got my eyebrows beautifully sculpted, bought perfume and a skirt. It was a successful day I say!
