And i’m back.

July 11, 2012

Hello everyone……..I have been in Durban for the last few days with my folks, that’s why I haven’t been posting. We thought we would take a drive down on Friday so we could check out the Durban July on Saturday. I have never been to The July before so I was amped to go see what it’s all about.

The whole trip was really cool, I got to got to the rugby with my dad, which just by the way I still don’t get. I know people love rugby, but unfortunately I will never be one of them and I think i’m cool with that. But it was fun to got to the stadium and shout at the top of my lungs hehe.

The Durban July was interesting, to say the least. It’s a fashion event where people are meant to wow everyone with their beautiful dresses, hats, suits etc but I think I saw 3 well dressed people and that was that. I have never in my life seen so many ugly matric dance like dresses gone wrong all in one place. It was fascinating. But annnnyywwaaay…. I guess as long as they had fun. Right? Right.

My most favorite thing that we did in Durban was go bike riding on the Durban Promenade. My mom and aunt were against the idea the whole way there, but then when we got on them their bikes, everyone was super amped. My mom was loving it, my dad was trying to do wheelies, my aunt was zig zagging through the crowds like a 4 year old high on Oros. It was so so much fun. We also went to a really pretty place in Kloof called Makaranga, which is a lodge built on the most beautiful grounds. There were so many lush trees and ponds and flowers and walkways – have any of you ever been there? It was so pretty.

So here are some Instagrams I took over the weekend, shame my real camera stayed home most of the time, poor little guy.

    Ahhhh Makaranga is absolutely beautiful. My cousin got married there in April and it was the most amazing place for her special day.
