Nikina70's Journal, 12 Apr 24

Some pics from my holiday. It's been 6 years since both my sisters and I were together. We're 4 years apart and I am the middle man (as my family liked to call me).

We visited Boulders Beach to see the penguin colony there (Gib_Jig, you'll remember we talked about watching the series ages ago), the Spice Route in Agter Paarl, Chapman's Peak Drive and Hout Bay, Cape Point, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, Robben Island, the South African National Gallery and Company Gardens and of course the V&A Waterfront. We also had a holiday within the holiday and spent a few days in the beautiful seaside town of Hermanus, which is 1.5 hours drive south east of Cape Town.

Just about every day was packed with activity and in-between we had a few braais and birthday celebrations with close family and I got to meet up with a dear old friend too. This was our first time back since my mom's passing in 2020 so sometimes emotional, but many new treasured memories were made with my two nieces and my brother-in-law too.

It will be a few years before I can go again as we're hoping to buy a house before the end of the year and money will be tight for a while. Hopefully the time will fly though! x
