Breakfast at La Belle

Recently my family and I went to a lovely restaurant called La Belle for breakfast. It's a bakery kind of place, and is attached to The Alphen Hotel. It's so beautiful there - the entire restaurant is amongst oak trees and flowers - especially in summer, when the flowers have bloomed. I always feel so happy when I arrive and see all the greenery!

I had Eggs Benedict, and it was so delicious. I also had freshly pressed apple juice that's done to order. It's so fresh and the only ingredient is, well, green apples. No added sugar or preservatives. Just added yumminess. Both the Eggs Benedict and the juice were scrummy, and you could definitely taste the love!

 The Alphen is really old, but so pretty... Look at all the plants and the ancient oak trees!

Cape Town Adventures

Happy 2015 everybody! I hope you have all had a relaxing and fun time over the festive season. My summer holiday has been jam-packed with so many fun places I have been to, and things that I have done. It has been so inspiring discovering new things and exploring in and around Cape Town. Cape Town is a city that has so much to offer, and has so many different cultures, so it is such an exciting city to be a part of every day.

Day in Kalk Bay

Kalk Bay is such an interesting and bustling place, with the sea on its left, and mountains on the right. Amidst all the beauty are hip and trendy boutiques, that tend to be filled with interesting and often quirky clothing that you probably won't find anywhere else. We discovered a real New York- style bagel place, called Bob's Bagels, that was great, and will definitely become a regular breakfast place for our family.

Felix Unite River Rafting
Recently, my family went on a two night adventure to a place called Round The Bend, by the company Felix Unite. This place has around 20 chalets, and a beautiful  main log cabin-style building. The food was good, the people were nice, and we had such a blast whilst river rafting.

Special Time with my Uncles
Recently, my sister and I spent two fun days with our uncles. We went out for breakfast, saw a movie, went shopping, went for a walk along the beach, had ice cream and it was such a blast!

Tea with breakfast.

 Beautiful Cape Town.

We went to this ice cream shop,which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the ingredients, while you watch!

Looking very sciency.

The finished product: creamy chocolate and raspberry ice cream.

Foo Fighters!
On the 10th of December, the Foo Fighters came to South Africa for the first time ever, on the first leg of their Sonic Highways tour. It was mind blowing - three hours of non-stop, quality music. Yes, the Foos were on for three hours, and didn't have a single break! And a bonus: my parents (die-hard Foo Fighter fans since the beginning) won a competition and met them!

Both the picture of Kalk Bay, and the picture from our river rafting trip were taken by my sister. Thanks for letting me use them Kira!
