So bare with me on this one, I don't wanna vomit all these pictures out at you guys in one post, so I'm going to do it day by day.
We then flew direct to Cape Town which was roughly 11 hours flying time, but with time differences it seemed to be only 9 hours.
^^ This is a tired looking me at 4.30am at Manchester airport.
To travel I wore simple clothes that weren't going to be restrictive.
Leggings - Primark
Boob Tube dress - New Look Inspire
Studded Sheer Shirt - Evans
Granny Cardi - Evans via Fat Swap
Biker Jacket - New Look
Studded Pumps - Primark
All the customs, bag collections and passport stamping aside, we got out into the arrivals lounge at about 10pm, where my boy Gavin, my brother Ian, sister-in-law Kate and baby Ella Rose were waiting for us.
So onto the first actual day spent in Cape Town...
We decided to use this as a "family" day and just visit everyone we could straight away.
I needed to get my phone topped up with some South African air time, and get some BB Internet Service as well. So Gavin and I popped down to Canal Walk to do this, and to do some general browsing and shopping.
I knew I wanted to wear something short, and floaty, so this was deffinitely a good choice.

Belt - Primark
Pumps - Primark
I wore very little on my face because of the heat.

We went to WIMPY for breakfast before the long day.
We strolled around Canal Walk for quite some time, and bought a few things we needed like sun tan lotion, blush(mine shattered), drinks for the house, lip balm etc.
I think we spent a good 3 hours there atleast!

Then we went through to Pinelands, where I spent almost ALL my childhood, and we went to the Spur for lunch to see my brother, sister-in-law and Ella, my mom and dad too, before trekking to see my Granny.
We went to visit my Granny and Brian (he is her 4th husband, so I dunno what we technically should call him, but we know him as Uncle Brian).
This was very eventful! My granny's whole flat could fit into my lounge all in one, and have space for more! It's tiny. So having 7 of us, plus her and Brian... it's alot of people! But she loved it!
We had been waiting a while in the parking lot at my Granny's complex so we got out the car and did silly things, as below.

We then went to Constantia Village Shopping Mall for Ice Cream. But sadly the ice cream store had gone, so my parents, brother, Kate and Ella went and did a bit of shopping, and Gavin and I went for a smoothie at Kauai, which is famous for its fresh smoothies and fresh wraps. I had a mango something smoothie, it was lovely.
After that lovely afternoon, we made our way back to the guest house for an afternoon swim, then nap.
The pool was such a welcome to the afternoon heat.

We met my Uncle & Aunt in the evening for some foodage before they went back to Durban. Gavin and I both had salad, and oh my lord, how glorious they were. I had Smoked chicken, feta and bacon salad and Gavin had a Bacon and egg salad. Both were so lovely!
After that my parents went back to the guest house, and Gavin and I decided to go to Cubana for a few drinks.

Cocktails & Shisha. |
This place made the best cocktails I have ever had. Like ever!
Anyway, that's pretty much the first day of my holiday, it was a lovely start to the week, but VERY hot!
