The Wilderness Experience

Amelia and I decided to go to the market in Wilderness for a change, and what an experience did it turn out to be.

Well, we’re not particularly cash people, so we couldn’t really buy much, as no-one accepted cards for payment. We did however get to try some of the most interesting Garlic Mayonnaise.

We decided to take a stroll and look for something to eat at a place that would accept plastic.

We ended up walking into Pomodoro’s and were seated and given menus. After waiting quite some time not getting any service, we decided to leave. On the way out, we were thanked for coming, and we politely told them that we were leaving because we did not get any service. The manager was all to eager to sort us out and make us happy, but we continued out the door.

We then moved our way up the road and had a look at the Blue Olive, and what a good decision it was. The service was great and the food was good too. You get the feeling from the moment you walk in the door that it is an owner manager establishment. The only thing I would personally like to see is a proper uniform.

If you are going to own a restaurant and want to make it a success, the best way is to be personally involved, but then again, I guess that only works if you’re a restaurant person yourself.

Woolworths – good yet disappointing

Woolworths have seriously got some good coffee, but they are an utter disappointment, when it comes to operating hours.

Amelia and I decided to go and get some coffee from Woolworths Cafe at the Garden Route Mall, quite some time before closing, but the Cafe was already “Closed” pretty lame when the rest of Woolworths is still open.

Considering we were unable to tame our desire for a good cup of Woolworths Coffee Goodness, we decided to try and find some of our favourite Tiramisu. After searching the entire refrigerated section for the good stuff we gave up and decided to ask for help. We were disappointed to find out that Woolworths have discontinued the best pre-packaged Tiramisu that we have found thus far.

Such a lot of good and such a lot of disappointment all in one visit. Woolworths, please make us happy and extend your Cafe hours and bring back the Tiramisu.

Schuks Tshabalala

I am not always a fan of funny, but old Leon really does know how to be politically incorrect and make the most of it.

If he caught me out, I’d probably be insanely angry, but nonetheless this is funny.

I do however feel that it would take a South African to really “get it”.

If you haven’t seen it yet, take a chance and laugh at a little bit of South African humor.

Hyunny the Hyundai

After the test drives, some internet research and some heavy decision making, I made up my mind and decided to go for the i30. I collected the car today and it is fantastic.

Amelia didn’t know that I was collecting the car today, so when I fetched her from work it was a total surprise.

I had some CDs ready and immediately hit the road and drove through to Knysna.

Amelia and I decided to stop at the waterfront and had some awesome pizza, coffee and tiramisu at Caffe Mario. We then took an easy drive back to George.

Hyundai i30

After trying out the i10 and i20 Amelia and I saw the i30, which looked like far more of a car. We did some enquiries on Saturday but did not have enough time to do a test drive, so I decided to go for one today.

When getting into the i30, you feel absorbed into it’s comfort and sporting feel. It is a superb drive and feels as if it has got performance wanting to pop out of every particle.

This one has definitely caught my attention.
