Til the next activity!!!!

So there was Happy Hour at the Roast Cafe. I was a tad disappointed by the list of cocktails that were listed to be under happy hour. The recommended cocktail by the waiter was also not the best. The food, on the other hand, was quick and good.

The performers were all funny. I was disappointed that Tumie Morake didn't come as she was advertised to be there, though there was a disclaimer that the lineup could change. So, my partner, had us sitting front and center, and everyone knows that people in the front row at comedy shows are never safe. Rest assured, we were all not safe as the comedians were taking jabs at everyone, it was funny because then you don't feel attacked. The host requested we put away our phones so we get to enjoy the show which we did thoroughly. I would go back there again. It should be in your bucket list.

Until the next post, stay lovely!

Following on the activities to do, we headed to the Zoo.

This is fun for the entire family on an easy Sunday or Saturday afternoon.

Entry into the Johannesburg Zoo is R90 per person (adults) to get full access to the Zoo. There is a separate fee of course for the rides. So below are the images from our fun day at the Zoo

Then there was Jumbo the elephant.

The smell that came out from the crocodile pit was a lot, it was so overwhelming.

That was my outfit for the day, short and floral for the looming summer.

So the whole experience is fun for kids mostly. The walking was a LOT especially in the heat, we could've alternatively used the carts but it was better to see the animals at a closer range and you can stop over where you want to stop over. There were a lot of animals to see as well which I commend them for. An alternative view I got whilst at the Zoo was that the animals are kept from their natural habitat for human entertainment, which could be deemed as animal cruelty. But if you are keen on checking the zoo out, enjoy it!

Til the next post!

So this is after winter and just before spring, hence why the trees and grass are not green. Can you imagine what it will look like in summer after the rains? Beautiful, I bet you.

There are pillars just like the ones at the Three Chiefs Monument. These pillars highlight the history of Botswana, from Livingstone Trail around Africa to the Battle of Dimawe.

Do make sure you pass by the memorial and get to know more about Botswana's history.

Another activity to do in Gaborone is to check out The 3 Chiefs Monument. Located in the heart of the Gaborone CBD, the area is a center for Botswana history. 

The trip will totally be worth your while, the tour guide in the area is quite knowledgeable. In addition there are pillars around the monument that state and show the history in time in a clockwise manner. 

So 2017 has been quite an amazing year filled with so many ups and downs. I personally pride myself in taking notes of what happened in the previous year so I know to avoid it, keep at it or improve it. That aside, my husband and I went back home to Durban.

We all know by now that Florida Road in the heart of Durban. Besides Eyadini, a lot of people come to Florida Road to party here and have a good time, so obviously we went past.

Coming from a landlocked country, our mini vacay would not have been complete without a trip to the beach.

Located in Rosebank, this beautiful has a vintage and rustic vibe going on. Playing Jazz and smooth RnB that later on has singalong/karaoke singer to get you on your feet. Katzy's is beautiful for a Sunday afternoon sundowner. My greatest problem though was the fact that people smoke inside the restaurant and as a non-smoker it was disturbing for me but otherwise it is a cool place. We were also served by a cool waiter by the name of Romeo. When you pass by I recommend you ask for him.

We went past The Hyaat before heading to Katzy's as they weren't open yet. It is such a beautiful hotel, I was thoroughly impressed. Though we were by the lobby and restaurant, it looked and smelled very beautiful, the unfortunate part though was that we went past on a cold day and the air conditioners were not making it easy to be comfortable, it was almost snowing.

Here is to conclude one chapter and starting another! May 2018 bring you all you wish and desire when you put in the effort to get it!
