Birthday weekend 2019

My birthday was at the beginning of the month and I've been meaning to do a recap ever since.  Is everyone else finding their February fly by?

One of my favourite spots to visit is Wilderness which is up the Garden Route and it is absolutely stunning.  We drove up on the Friday morning and when we arrived had breakfast at Flava.  Drove on to Knysna before check in and walked around.I love this verse and message <3 A friend suggested them years ago and now we make sure we have all our dinners there when in Wilderness. 

Made our way back to Wilderness and checked into one of our favourite B&B's. We stayed in one of the cottages and they made such a fuss of my birthday. The cottage we stayed in had a lovely deck outside which looked out onto the pool and pretty garden.

Cocomo restaurant in Wilderness is a favourite of ours to visit when we stay there. 

Had some birthday drinks. Some more...….We had some poppers to snack on before dinner.

We made our way to Pomodora for dinner afterwards.  Their pizza and pasta is simply amazing and I highly recommend them for great food.  They have live music in the evenings and the vibe is just super relaxed - you feel instantly chilled when you arrive. Booking is essential because they are so popular.

The next morning at the guesthouse, this was my breakfast plate :

Afterwards we went to Sedgefield and visited the market and bought some goodies.  I LOVE my mosaic tortoise and he looks great in the garden.

After the market we drove on to Brenton-on-sea. We were very fortunate with the weather which stayed sunny until just before dinner that evening.  There was some heavy rain (which when you are from Cape Town you don't complain about) but the rest of the weekend was sunny and warm.

Had another dinner at Pomodora and made our way back to the guesthouse.

After another delicious breakfast the next morning we packed up, said goodbye to our lovely hosts and made our way back to Cape Town.

A great start to being 36
