This Weekend I...

... took a few days off from work for an extended weekend and it did wonders! Not only did I take a much needed, and well-deserved, break, I also went on a girls' weekend. Hence me being so quiet on cyberspace the past couple of days. Friday morning early I packed the car, met up with five of my girl friends and hit the road!

This is what the house looked like which we stayed in. Beautiful, huh?

We then slipped into something more comfortable and had wine in the sun. Usually a recipe for disaster, but it totally relaxed me. Maybe a bit too much.

Next stop, Cubana. Cocktails and whale-watching.

And a virgin cocktail for my pregnant friend...

The next day we went shopping, sight-seeing and wine tasting. But first, a healthy breakfast.

Yes, I do actually play the piano.

On our way back home, we saw a house that was destroyed by fire - obviously many moons ago - so we decided to go inside and take photos. Technically it's not 'breaking an entry', because nobody lives there. Not that we care about rules anyway...



Got home, had more wine, ate loads of jelly beans, lounged around in bikinis and soaked up the sun. These really are the things weekends are made of.

After too much wine (is there really such a thing as too much wine?), we went to paint the teensy town RED.

This is it! This is what I did the (long) weekend. Hermanus was so much fun that we decided to go again this weekend. Also because the people asked really nice.

This Weekend I...

... escaped from the city life and the rat race. I escaped from the crazy, partying, drunken night life. And just escaped to the shores of Blaauwberg strand. I didn't exactly have a detoxing weekend or caught up on some sleep, but I wore a bikini for the first time in months, sat topless in a jacuzzi with my friends and drank loads of wine, with the sun baking on my pale skin. I mingled and I met new people. I laughed, I sang and I danced. That's the stuff weekends are made of.

This weekend I woke up to this lovely view from my bedroom.

I had delicious Mermaid's Orgasm cocktails at Blue Peter with my best friend.

I posed like a moron with all these funky shades, but my friends seemed to enjoy the entertainment.

Ok, ok, enough of me. My friend, Ivan, and I sat by the pool. Just chillin'. Pondering. Posing. Pouting.

When the wine started flowing, the girls took their tops off. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Even though I'd love to share more of these pics, I'm afraid my friends will kill me and make it look like an accident.

Tops back on again!

My sister joined the party and brought cocktails!

At first she was a little intimidated by all the, er, flesh, but after some more cocktails, she joined the party. I'm supposed to be the older, wiser and responsible sister. Blah blah blah. I prefer to be the fun and cool sister instead.

And so the fun continued. I spent the whole of Sunday recovering, because Saturday evening my friend convinced me to go to The Butterfly Club. A lesbian club, as I discovered (only upon arrival). BUT I'm saving that for another post as I have loads to tell.

Happy Monday my lovelies! Hope your weekend was as much fun as mine.
