44 Stanley Ave

On Sunday morning I met up with Martina and her boyfriend Rob for breakfast at 44 Stanley Ave in Jo'burg.  I had never been there before, and while at first glance the outside of the street looks like a long row of run-down warehouses, once you duck into the little alley way the inside opens up into Jo'burg's best kept secret.  It's filled with quaint little cafes, boutique shops and used book stores that one could get lost in for hours.  We ate at Salvation Cafe and I think it's safe to say that we all found our food to be delicious.  I will definitely be taking Jurgen for a visit as soon as he gets back :)



And in super exciting news, my blog has been registered for the South African Blog Awards!  I am beyond excited and grateful.  It's open for public vote, so if you all could do a me a huge favor and click on that "Vote" button on the upper right-hand side of my page I would be eternally grateful.  Once you click it, it takes you to a page were you are asked to enter your email address to cast your vote and then an email will be sent to that address for you to confirm.  You can only vote once throughout the competition so make it count ;)  I feel so lucky to have all of your support!  Voting closes on the 9th of November at midnight (South African time).

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!
