Sunshine & Fun

I have been super busy entertaining my friend Shez.. Its nice to see SA in a different light when you have international visitors.
The most fun experience for me were the Canopy Tours in the Magaliesberg mountains - these mountains are the 2nd oldest mountain range in the world!

Safety is paramount and you are always connected by at least 2 lines, so there is no chance of anything happening to you.
There are 10 platforms - The platforms are about 20 - 40 metres above the ground and the longest slide is 120m long. It all goes by so fast, but what a thrill!
Afterwards you enjoy a light lunch while watching the dvd of your adventures.
We even received a certificate saying we had done it - nice touch.

A visit to the Protea Fire & Ice enabled us to enjoy some delicious milkshakes - with flavours such as Ferrero Rocher, Crunchie, Oreo Cookies & Jelly tots, you just cant go wrong!
I have had the Oreo cookies, Jelly Tots and the Peanut butter and banana so far - YUM!

The decor at the hotel is so pretty we couldnt resist taking a few fun photos.

Shez also treated us to a decadent paraffin pedicure and we walked out with very pretty toes - can you guess which toes belong to me?


The Bird Gardens helped me get a bit of sun again (Can anyone say "bright red lobster skin"?) The show was fun and the gardens are always very pretty for a nice stroll around.


We visited the Lion park in Fourways - it sure has changed alot since I was there a few years back.

You get to pet the cute Lion cubs - and watch out for dangling camera straps, they like to play!
They also have giraffe and Cheetah and hyena camps as well as buck and various other animals.
The curio shop has some cute souvenirs and really adorable baby clothes.



A lot of shopping later (I dont want to see another shop for a very long time!) and Shez's trip was over.

Its nice to have some peace and quiet - but I almost dont know what to do with myself.....

I have been missing QT, even while having all this fun. I dread to think how much I am going to miss him now that I am alone with some time to think.....
