To better times!

A snippet of our holiday snapshots...

Majestic Babylonstoren

We had a pretty awesome mini road-trip yesterday,

to the spectacular Babylonstoren to say the least!

They were closed for the day, but still gave us a guide to show us around the premises, for a moment it felt like time stood still and we had this amazing farm all to ourselves.  These images are just a glimpse of what they have to offer.

It should definitely be a MUST SEE on your to do list if you were to visit the Franschoek area.  We are certainly making our way back there in the near future!

Trip down South Part I

The Anchorage  was our second stop on our mini road trip to the Eastern Cape... The first few nights we spend at relatives in Langebaan - It is set on a picturesque farm just outside Stillbay, along the Goukou River.

We chose the Self Catering option, to have more space for Nikah to enjoy.  Our room was perfectly situated with a breathtaking view of the river, we sat on our terrace well into the late hours of the night, soaking in the still waters and nightlife.  

I manage to sneak out at 6:30am to capture some of the farm jewels, (which includes a small vineyard, luscious vegetable patch, The Stables which are home to a few horses, a ginger cat, geese and a very handsome cock) and just spend a few minutes taking in all the awesome things that came our way in 2011!

If you find some time on your journey to who knows where, make sure you pop in at 

The Anchorage...

The service is spectacular, the scenery unbeaten, and the rooms, well 'our dearest' slept through the night in a unknown space! Now that's something to write home about-
