We stayed with my friend, Barb and her family in their beautiful house in Hout Bay and Mr O and I much enjoyed the view
We had burgers with my family on Easter Sunday at Jerry’s Burger Bar
I had lots of cocktails with my girlfriends
LOTS of cockails
We went to the Grand in Grainger Bay and had lunch on the beach. Mr O pretended he was a rock star
We drove past Noordhoek
To get to the Cape Point Winery, where we had a picnic
And Mr O proved very popular with the kids
The view at night was just as good as during the day
We stayed in the amazing Lanzerac Hotel and Spa for Barb’s wedding
We had our own pool!
I got to be a bridesmaid
It was like a fairytale
Except the bride was even more beautiful than a princess
Mr O and my brother ate ice-creams in the Kirstenbosch Gardens
I liked being up on the sky walk in the tree tops
My brother and his girlfriend, Nikki, were just as beautiful as the view
And Mr O hung out in an enchanted tree
I got to hang out with my Ouma… who is still hilarious at 89 and the oldest member of my family
And then I got to meet, Ava, the youngest member of my family
I had coffee by candlelight with my mum, aunt and cousin because of the South African phenomenon of load shedding
I took a bus tour with Mr O and marveled from the view at the base of Table Mountain
I got over-excited by the adult playground in the Company Gardens and road this wooden snail
Mr O climbed into a dinosaur
I fell in love with my furry nephew, Colby, even though he ate one of my gym socks whole!

Looks GREAT!!!!
I had a wonderful time 😆
Looks like it!
Epic pics! 🙂 I bet you felt like Julia Roberts in “Eat, Pray, Love”. LOL.
Hahahahaha! Exactly. Although I failed to immediately become best friends with everyone I met.
Of course, b/c Julia Roberts is a selfless saint who only thinks about the benefit and wellbeing of others!
Is that your husband/boyfriend? The picture of him in the enchanted tree reminds me of Evil Dead. lol.
He’s my husband and he’ll like that. He’s a big fan.
Oh ok, good deal. How long you been married? I also like the pic of your grandmother and dog. 🙂
3 1/2 years! It’s my brother’s dog. He’s super cute but he also chews EVERYTHING! My grandmother is awesome. I am planning to be back for her 90th birthday in January.
What a cool trip! Your home country is stunning, Abbi!
Thank-you! It’s a magical place.
Looks like you had such a lovely time.
I did. It was so good to see friends and family and the weather was so perfect.
Sounds like everything perfect came together for you.
Great pictures!!
Thanks!
That tree is awesome! What beautiful pics, Abbi. Looks like you had a great time! 🙂
We really did!
Such beautiful photos, thanks for sharing. I want to go on holiday now! 😀
I know I am biased but as a holiday destination South Africa is hard to beat.
*This* is the post I’ve been trying to comment on!
I love all these gorgeous pictures! The wedding looks beautiful, and I can tell you two had an amazing time. You always do such a great job of conveying the spirit of a trip!
Thank-you so much! We had a blast. Probably because we are both just silly kids at heart.
I freaking LOVE these photos, they are awesome! Looks like you guys had an absolute blast, and yes, load shedding. Ugh.
That baby had BEAUTIFUL eyes, my goodness!
Man, wish the Cape were closer, would have tripped out and had a weird looking green drink!
It was an awesome trip. We had so much fun catching up with everyone and seeing friends and family. Ava is so adorable. She didn’t want to smile for the photo because she is teething but she’s such a cutie. I am back again in late December/early January and I will making an appearance in Joburg. Maybe we can cross paths then!
Awww poor thing!
Jetsetter Abbi! Maybe we can wrangle that, who knows?? 🙂
