Butterfly World.

The last time we went to Butterfly World was when Niave was not yet 2, she slept through the entire outing in her pram, so, in search of a wheelchair friendly outing a couple of Sundays ago we decided we needed to return with all members of the family present and awake!

A beautiful place and fairly reasonable, we paid R125.00 for a family of 4 package and you can literally stay the whole day if you wanted to. There is more to see than just butterflies too - just check out all this wildlife:

(Boris!)

The marmosets are very friendly and 1 in particular loved Grant, I think it was all his "paraphernalia" not the least his wheelchair, monkey's really are very inquisitive, he was looking at and grabbing everything!

But, pass the keys to Abigail and the monkey follows!

He was very intrigued by the wheelchair!

There were also tortoises, ducks/birds and a room full of hairy spiders of many varieties, insects including enormous cockroaches, giant snails, centipedes (or perhaps they were millipedes!) and a few rare species of frogs.

But we were there to see the butterflies and we could have stayed longer, it's a very relaxing (if humid!) place.

We broke the rules and managed to get 1 or 2 butterflies to land on our hands!

I'm sure...we'll be back!
