Weekend away

A weekend away with friends

Mar 8, 2017 No Comments

A couple of weeks ago we went to Franskraal with a couple of friends of ours and their daughter. It was a great weekend with lots of ice-cream, braai-ing, beach time and chatting.

A few months ago Vanessa and Courtney asked Mel if she knew of somewhere that could go for a weekend that wasn’t expensive. She then told us about it and we were like, “the Franskraal house”. I invited them […]

David and I went on an adventure over the Du Toit Kloof pass last weekend. We stayed at a really nice guest house called De Eike. It can be found just outside of Rawsonville, which really is a one horse town. There’s not even cellphone signal, which was a bit of challenge for me but I think by Sunday I was fine with that. [easy-image-collage id=1870] On Friday we popped into the Du Toitskloof Winery to do some wine tasting. We tasted three white wines and three red wines for free. We then bought one white and one red bottle of wine, […]
