On sunday I went to Madame Zingara in Cape Town with Ryan,
Robin, Zané, Brett, Jamie and two other peeps to celebrate Brett’s
birthday. It was crazy cool! So weird and different. It felt like I
fell into the rabbit hole and found myself in wonderland. Sofie in
Wonderland. Yes. Haha. All the weird and wonderful acts bending
their bodies in all sorts of crazy ways. Everyone walking around
wearing masks and crazy hats and outfits. Even a mad-hatter like
guy walking around! I loved every second of it!

Pretty cool!!

Weekend in Mossel Bay

Sofie — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:43:12 +0000

Had an awesome long weekend in Mossel Bay On Thursday it was just me, Nikki, Zané and Niki staying at the River Shack. We had drinks played games, went to the beach, got creeped out by spiders and had fun.

On Friday morning after a 3 hour sleep me, Nikki and Zané went on a 3 hour horse riding excursion thingy. It was awesome to gallop in the sand dunes Unfortunately we had no place to put our phones so we couldn’t take any photos. Actually most of the weekend I didn’t have any batteries on my phone do I didn’t take a lot of photos at all. But lucky the other peeps did so I will steal photos from them later to post on my blog! After the horse riding we started prepping for the rest of the guys to arrive so we prepared the food for the braai and had a few drinks. When they all arrived we partied by the fire and had fun. The next day we drove to had lunch at some place packed with bikers and then partied again but had an early night.

Sunday we drove back to PE and crashed in front on the tv at home. The weekend was really heavy on my body and I have been feeling sick since yesterday But no time to chill haha tomorrow we are driving down to Cape Town for another long weekend packed with fun

Life got in the way.

Hello everyone! I know I haven’t been blogging in a while but to be honest I have dealt with a lot life lately. Big decisions and planning, preparing, thinking… I’m pretty sure all know how it feels. You have a bit too much to think about to be able to just sit down and blog and focus your mind on what’s going right now. Mentally being in the future or far away in dreamland. Will try to shape up a bit and blog more!

On sunday we woke up and had a lovely breakfast at the Trogon House, then we drove to Keurbooms river where we rented a boat. We didn’t swim as we planned on doing cause you couldn’t see what was in the water it was so dark haha. Too freaked out about water snakes and stuff. All the way up the river we decided to stop for a bit then struggled like crazy to get boat started again. Half way back we ran out of gas haha but luckily we had some more in the boat. It was really a nice boat ride and day on the river.

Yummy healthy breakfast at the Trogon House and Forest Spa.

At the river.

Captain Martin haha

I’m the king of the world on a boat like Leo..!

After the boating we were on our way back home to P.E. again. We just needed to stop at Plett Puzzle Park first to run around in a 3D Maze for an hour and a half haha. It was crazy intense – guys vs. girls. Girls won of course! The guys cheated and kept using the emergency exits. Very uncool. But we still won so Nikki and I rock!

Last stop of the day was at Matt’s house to celebrate Matt and Mignon’s engagement But I didn’t take any photos of that …

After the zip-lining, the Big Tree and Marilyn’s Diner we drove to the Bed & Breakfast lodge we were staying at called the Trogon House and Forest Spa. A B&B/hotel smack in the middle of the forest with all the trees It was so crazy nice! Right next to it is a bird sanctuary and Monkeyland. And we got to see a lot of wildlife there! In our bedroom we found the biggest spider I have ever seen! It really wasn’t easy for Ryan to try and catch him when there was a wasp flying around in the room at the same time..! Later I found a bird that flew into a window ad broke it’s wing. Really sad but lucky for him/her that there is a bird sanctuary close. We also saw turtles, horses, different types of monkeys and a lemur. One of the monkeys tried to steal my iPhone!! I was just lucky to be a one centimeter to far away from him haha.

The little bird I found with the broken wing.

About 1 second before the monkey tried to steal my phone! It was really close – he touched my hand haha.

The second stop we did (you can check the first one here) was at the Tsitsikamma Big Tree. The tree is 1000 years old and huge! We checked it out and went for a walk in the woods.

After checking out the Big Tree we drove to Storms River Village to have lunch at Marilyn’s 60′s American Diner. It was an experience! Not sure my my lunch was very ‘american diner-y’ haha but it was nice – calamari and chili cheese fries.

That’s how they roll at the American diner

Shoe spotting

Sofie — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:21:06 +0000

Spotted these shoes while
shopping. In the store they looked way weirder…but seeing them in
this photo I took they are kind of growing on me a bit. What do you
think? At first they just looked like the weirdest shoes, but although
they may be a bit unusual they really don’t look That weird. I
didn’t buy them, I bought another pair that I fell for straight
away not having to think about if they look weird or not haha. I’m
planning on wearing them this weekend so you will probably see them
in a post on Sunday or Monday
