The rest of the holidays...

I haven't posted for a while because I hadn't downloaded photo's for ages but the thing about downloading photo's long after the event is that you get to relive it!! I'd forgotten about half the things we'd done and although they were only a couple of weeks ago, it seems like months!!

School started much earlier this year than usual so we didn't have much time after Christmas and New Year before starting to get back into school mode, but one of the things I'd really been wanting to do was visit the Castle in Cape Town.

It was an interesting outing but a little "old" for Niave, she did enjoy it but some of the exhibitions were a bit boring for her, she enjoyed the things like the canons and walking around on the roof "on top of the world"! Abs could appreciate it a bit more and found some rooms very interesting, they were both very intrigued by the "torture chamber" but we didn't hang around there too long, too many questions that require difficult answers!!!

Photography is not allowed inside the buildings and the most effective picture of the castle is actually taken from above and seeing as we weren't going to be in a helicopter, I bought a postcard to show the girls what the building we were in actually looked like, it's hard to imagine from the inside:
Some other pics of the day:






A worthwhile outing for children 6 years and over... and adults!
