Scratch Patch.

Today we visited another well known Cape Town spot for the first time! The Scratch Patch! Although the Waterfront Scratch Patch has been open for years, we have never been!! So today we went off with Abigail's friend Joanna to search for semi-precious stones and discovered there is also an indoor putt-putt course there! Both were really inexpensive, R14,00 for a small bag to fill with stones and R10,00 each for putt-putt.

We started off with the scratch patch, Abigail and Jo scratched and searched and chose their stash of stones.

Niave walked in, spotted the waterfall and spent the entire time filling the pond with stones!
Then we played some putt-putt or "Cave Golf" as they call it as it is inside a kind of cave. Neither of the older girls had ever played before and found it quite tricky, but they finished the course - eventually!! Niave putted along for fun, I loved her style, she has a very eclectic hold on the putter!!

To be honest, next time we want to visit the Scratch Patch I will head out to Simon's Town, I found this one a bit small and cramped. But the kids had a good time anyway.
