MariJ Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Sounds like a restful day when we've been so busy. But, I'm sure we can get into trouble on this ship! I wonder what everyone else is up to, I'm going to hunt up some breakfast, I hear there's an awesome Sunday buffet. Then I'll sit at the pool awhile, anyone have any ideas or know what's happening on the ship today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristiM Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I may have pushed the envelope a bit on this one but between all of the dancing, touring, getting wet under that waterfall and fun, my brain is a bit soggy! There is water in my cup and you can see my Grands in the background having fun in the pool! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraceJ Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I really loved the tango dance, actually in Finland we love so much the tango, I don't know if you know this, but every year we have a tango festival, named Tango Markkinat, during summer, many guys go there and sing, and one is elected as the tango king, in such composition are chosen as well the best composers and dancers, and everyone can see the competition on tv. So the tango class was a real pleasure, and walking around the streets it was pretty interesting. I really loved so much their architecture and some kind of drink called mate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceJ Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Here's my water layout, it was really fun to swim, but I noticed my physical condition is so poor, so better I'll search for a nice shadow place, sit down and read something while I'm seeing people having fun.

April Showers Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Monday, September 12th We had smooth sailing across the Atlantic. We’ve landed in Cape Town, South Africa and are going to crash in Belle’s granny flat. Thanks for inviting us all Belle!Today we’ll visit Boulders Beach where you can swim and interact with more than 2,000 African penguins. Start a layout with Black OR White as a primary color. Note: Your layout doesn't need to be black and white, it can have color, The background doesn't need to be solid black or white. Your layout just needs to have black or white (or even off white) as a dominant color. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is welcome. When we were small, we used to go to Simon's Town on holiday every year. We had a cottage in what was called Froggy Pond and the beach we went to was Boulders Beach. That was before the penguins moved in. Today the people and penguins share the beach. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so interesting, Belle - local history from a native, so cool! It's wonderful to meet with you and really sit and talk and to actually see your gorgeous home, we've only ever seen in photos. Nice to meet your family, too. Thanks for the hospitality! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Maybe Grace will give us a few tango lessons when we are at Belle granny flat. That is so hospitable of Belle to let us come visit I hope everyone can behave. Belle loadsharing but be a real inconvenience for you...it interrupts your scrapping and your Henry's cooking B&W page...yes that will be fun but I am hoping we get to see penguins....maybe they will be in Belle's pool. Happy Scrapping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsoarty Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Yay Belle! We get to have a ‘braai’ right? With Henry as the chef. I’m excited! And make sure you have plenty of Boerewors, that’s what I miss most from South Africa. These ladies don’t know how yummy it is. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Thanks @Belle for inviting us! Your granny flat is lovely and all the South African food sounds yummy. Those penguins sure are fun to be around, too. And who is that trying to teach one of them to tango? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Tuesday, September 13th I was obvious you enjoyed swimming and um, dancing with the penguins yesterday. Let’s take a cable car ride up to the top of Table Mountain, one of the New Seven Wonders of the world. We can sit and enjoy the views eating at Table Mountain Café. The peak is often shrouded in clouds with are referred to as “tablecloths.” Note from Andrea: Do not feed the cute (but obnoxious) Hyrax (Dassies in Afrikaans) that live on the top of the mountain. It is clearly marked "DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. " Did I see someone breaking this rule already? Add an overlay to your page. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Oh I love overlays! And I’m guilty trying to teach the penguins to dance, but not the tango, but the dance from Mary Poppins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 It was not me who fed the Hyrax as I do not believe in giving people food to animals as it often is not good for their digestive systems. My page being predominately black.... Matty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
