This weekend I....

                                    

Celebrated my birthday! I went to the mirror, mentally done a check list. No grey hair-check. No major wrinkles-check. And even though I am officially off the calendar, I was ready to turn 32...

My birthday weekend went like this...Saturday went to Maximillien for dinner at Da Vinci Hotel in Sandton, I enjoyed the exquisite food and wine, then I partied the night away at Manhattan Club. Note to self: definitely getting too old to dance for 6 hours straight! The Sunday a slightly hungover me went out for a much needed lunch at Meat and Co in Melrose Arch. Afterwards, I was off to enjoy some dessert and champagne at the very classy 54 on Bath Level Four. I was in my element enjoying their Verve Cliquot Champange bar, definitely going back for more! 

So a great time was had and that was the end of my jammed packed birthday month....ah, now I can relax and just settle into being 32...but to quote Taylor Swift...I'm feeling 22 :) 

This weekend I ....

Spent my long weekend in the North West Province of South Africa. On Friday I explored the Pilanesberg Nature and Game Reserve, what a beautiful, peaceful place. We went through the self drive game reserve, spotted a gorgeous family of Girrafes, some Zebra's a wild Jackal and loads of birds. Then we stopped at a specially enclosed part of the reserve for a braai lunch, it was so peaceful to be in the middle of the wild just to take in all of what Mother Nature has offer. I truly got lost in a few moments, forgetting about the real world for a few minutes was worth it. 

The Staturday was spent enjoying Sun City resort, back to commercialised fun :) none the less, a great time had soooo much to see and enjoy. I mainly enjoyed a drink and views at the hotels, secret bar after doing a maze, by the poolside and their latest edition, a typical South African shabeen village. 

Even the road trip there and back was great, drove through the Hartebeespoort Dam, a real sight to see, stopped over at one of the markets, I love markets, from flea to farm :) here are some photos of my weekend away, all taken by me.
