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

Thanks adpreso! Funny that - I guess I was the troubled one too - the only one who took up smoking for a decade and the first to move out of the house. But I don't think I was that much trouble. 😊

Thank you, Kat!!!💕 I think you know how long I'd been waiting for this trip, so even up to the last day before I flew, I kept hoping everything would be ok - and it was all good. I am so grateful! x

Thank you, bryony! It certainly recharged my batteries in lots of ways.

Thank you so much, Becky!!! ❤️ I've just had a quick look at your posts, and it seems you've had a rather hectic year so far, but with a new grand baby (or babies) as well. I hope you and Joe and all your family are doing very well! x
