Schools over here will be taking a couple of weeks off for their winter break… and there are so many fun activities around Cape Town to join in… so much to look forward too… Midwinter is definitely not a dull time of year in Cape town at all!!!
Museum night at the Waterfront looks totally cool… Half price at so many museums, including the Two Oceans Aquarium…

There is an animal free circus in town… hoorah… and we are hoping to check it out and bring you all the details really soon… Meanwhile check out the website of The Fantastic Grifizzi Brothers…

Cape Gate Shopping Centre has a whole lot of holiday fun lined up for kids…

And Kirstenbosch is as usual free for school kids over the winter holidays, you only have to pay for the accompanying adults. And the Moyo restaurant has a programme of activities for children enjoying meals at the restaurant.
That’s us… have a fabulous week!!!
