So let me start off saying that this passed weekend was one for the record books. I thoroughly enjoyed the company, the activities and everything that went right and wrong this weekend.

It was one of my best friend’s birthdays, Melissa and she invited us for a weekend away where we’d go to Sun City and Stay over at a lodge. The day started off great with a champagne breakfast and a looooooong drive to the city of the sun.. Sun City. After going on all the slides, almost having a heart attack on their new slide, we were ready for a huge supper and champagne with the ladies.

Arriving at out accommodation, for the amount we paid, we expected a simple place and that’s exactly what we got. But in true fashion I have to talk about the food. So they had quite the extensive menu: Chicken, fish, burgers, toasted sandwiches, ribs, steak and salads. Without wanting to complicate things and seeing the simplicity of this place, I thought that you can’t screw up fish and chips. The others at the table picked dagwood “burgers” ribs, steak and chicken.

Firstly, the waitress didn’t make one of the meals and one of our friends sat there watching us eat and their “burgers” were untoasted bread. I kid you not. Look at the below picture.

that was four slices of white bread and the fillings in between. hahaha I felt bad for whoever ordered that.

I thought it was all downhill after seeing that meal. But I was wrong, my fish and chips were absolutely delicious. They were fresh, the fish had a crunchy coating that even now I’m feeling a little peckish and wouldn’t mind chomping on that.

Something else worth mentioning is that this place became a tavern at night. The local miners and workers come out to play in their bar area. The smell of stale smoke, empty beer bottles as far as the eye can see and men everywhere filled the room. But with champagne and a group of women, every experience is an opportunity to have FUN which is what we did.

Thank you to my beautiful friend Mel for organising this amazing trip and I love to bits.
