An Easter holiday to remember

Posted on May 9, 2014 by Bo

It’s unbelievable how time flies! A month ago, we were packing to head down to Cape Town and run Two Oceans. Flicking through the photos reminded me about the wonderful time we had.

We flew down engulfed in the most gorgeous white fluffy clouds…

Like typical Vaalies, we headed down to the beach…

And we took ~~one or two~~ many sunset photos…

We went to some of the most beautiful wine farms…

We ate *way* too much food…

…even picnicked.

And of course, we drank *ahem*.

We also took time to relax.

But I guess the main reason for the trip was the Two Oceans marathon and half marathon races. KK ran his first full ultra and did an excellent time! But after a gap of 2 years, I finally (!) conquered my fear of the half marathon and finished under three hours. I was elated! Good training & exercising of the mind & body did the trick I think. Thank you Cape Town! See you again next year…

A day off..

When a public holiday falls on a Monday, there’s nothing better than enjoying a looooong weekend. Believe it or not, I did plan my day. My plan was to do as little as possible and I stuck to my word.

I slept lekker late…

and spent the entire day with my feet up…

keeping an eye on my bird feeder, watching the birds nattering away…

taking time to admire the flowers in my garden in the warm Jozi sun…

starving myself for that afternoon braai…

and ending off snuggling on the couch in front of Grey’s Anatomy.

10 / 10 for a perfect day!

A photo trip to the Neighbourgoods Market

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Bo

I can’t believe a month has passed since KK and I were down in Cape Town to run the Two Oceans half marathon. Whenever we do go down to Cape Town, we always plan a trip to one of our favorite places, The Neighbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill. It’s a treat! Trying to decide what to choose to eat is absolute torture after you’ve walked up and down the food aisles a million times. But it’s fabulous! Here’s just a glimpse into the world of foodgasm from our last visit…
