Wrapping up the holidays in style!
Yip! So that's it! Almost 7 weeks of holiday done and dusted! Honestly it feels like it just started yesterday haha.... no idea where it all went!!! It was grand though... whatever we did lol!
Being the last day of the holidays, we asked Jude what he wanted to do... his initial choices were "arcade and a boat ride" - the two are are on opposite ends of the world, so we scrapped the arcade and opted for some cave golf and a boat ride instead.
Jude has long since loved cave golf (which is essentially "putt putt" in a cave lol) and he was also excited because he got to pick up a new semi-precious necklace for himself. He loves that kind of thing... bought him a "tigers eye" once which he lost - but today he chose a blue obsidian.
Done with the cave golf, we headed off to book our tickets for the boat ride and then went to grab a bite to eat! Jude had a pizza, Dave a burger and I went for a kiddies chicken and mayo toastie... may as well enjoy the carbs today, because as of tomorrow.... they are gone gone GONE! haha!
Boat ride time!!! There are SO many boats to choose from at the waterfront, but Jude and I generally agree that the catamaran's are the most fun! They really give you that "right on the water" experience. If there were another one I would choose - it would probably be one of the speed boats, but no doubt I would end up overboard haha... so safer to stick to the catamaran lol!
On board and ready to go... it was time to order some champagne, listen to the instuctions whilst at sea and find a good spot to enjoy the ride... which NATURALLY was RIGHT at the front!
The trip is an hour long but it is actually quite depressing how quickly that hour goes and today I decided NOT to squander it trying to take pics the entire time, but rather to sit back, ENJOY and ABSORB the experience!
Once the trip was done, we had to rush a little as we didn't want to hit the "home from work traffic". Jude had some cash that was burning a hole in his pocket, so we went VERY quickly to "Hamleys" toy store...
and then... ONE more stop before we hit the road!!! Just a little "boy toy" treat for the little man! A visit to the Ferrari show room hehe.... what boy WOULDN'T LOVE that!!!
It was SUCH an amazing day and I was even MORE thrilled that I had procrastinated the "book covering" until the VERY last minute, of the VERY last day haha!! Oh well.... lol It was not that bad actually! Done and dusted, we officially head into 2020 as of 6am tomorrow morning!
Catch you all on the flipside!
MWAH!!! LOVE YOU ALL!
❤❤❤
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

Looks gorgeous! I have wanted to go to Cape Town for the past 20 years. I met some wonderful folks from there while traveling around Europe in the late 90’s. Have managed to see one of them in London and later Paris since but neither of us has gotten to the other’s corner of the globe.
And 7 weeks of holidays?!!! 🏆
Happy New Year!
Where there is a will there is a way!!! You MUST come! :D
Wow! 7 weeks of holidays! I want to start a class action so that I can get my school fees back Lol.
You don't look like you have to worry about carbs and such my friend.
Glad that you guys had a fun last day before the slog starts.
Great post and great photos here!
Blessings!

Very cool photos and that pizza looks delicious! Hmmmm. 😋
Nice to know you had such a wonderful time!
We really did! Thank you @trincowski x
Now that's a great way to finish up vacation! Good for you!
hehehe it sure was thanks :D
That men’s picture is a treasure. And it’s such a treat doing things as a family but after the holiday is over the normal life is fun aswell
Yes, plenty of fun to be had "day to day" :)
That seemed to be quite a day for all of you! 7 weeks of holiday? wow! I do miss summer!
Yeah it was awesome. In fact all 7 weeks were! Much needed too!
Well, if you're going out why not go out in style, with a boat ride, some golf, some eats, and a visit to a showroom. Oh, and a bottle of champaign, sounds like a great day to me!
Even us big boys would love to visit
a Ferrari showroom.
Boy, Jude is growing up right in front of our eyes. He's got those styling poses down for the pictures.
I cringed when you mentioned the chore you left for last.
We never bought the nice book covers, with four kids in school at the same time, we would've ended up broke. The brown paper bags were the way we rolled. The only problem with using the bags was that you would be covering the books several times a year. Boy, life was tough back in the day. 😃
Sounds like you had a marvelous last day on your holidays!
Love that first picture of you and Jude!
That definitely is the best way to do a boat ride - sit back and enjoy and it looked like you were indeed doing that - wishing I was there beside you taking in the rays instead of freezing our butts off in extreme cold weather!
Yes it was AWESOME thanks hon! As for the pic, well - I was lucky to get him to keep still long enough haha!
Here's hoping that the warm rays extended through the pics to warm your butt haha!!!
Have a super weekend x
I too am wondering where the holiday went as it breezed by so fast. I think you ended up the holiday with a bang as you guys had a fantastic time. Would be super if you could bring back home that Ferrari lol. Cheers!
OH man!!!!!!! Not sure who wanted the Ferrari more... me or Jude lol!
