A Visit to Cape Town Inspired Our Healthy Change of Lifestyle

During the first part of 2008 took the family to Cape Town in South Africa. Besides having a great time in what they consider a vacation of a lifetime we've bought the house in a completely new living.Our best friends had moved to Cape Town in 2005 to live and work, and who constantly invoke us to come and visit. Although we could again be with them and not have to pay for a hotel to anyone who has a young family will realize that the conclusion of airfare from the UK is still only a bit "of financial challenge.Anyway after a while 'reflection, we decided to go for it. Get cheap flights actually worked, so after we found we could redeem the points earned in the program of our local supermarket card loyalty for good in the regime air miles. In addition, because we bought the ticket over six months before they managed to beat another 10 -12% discount in the price.The peak flight itself was a real adventure for my children 10 hours had a whale of time. Above all we have seen the movies back to back, but the whole experience of a long-haul flight was very exciting.This not compare with the sensation of actually setting foot on the African continent for the first time . The fresh air again the sun shone in a beautiful blue sky that had arrived.For the next two weeks he spent time with our friends visiting all the important landmarks as Table Mountain and Robbens Island, where Mandela was imprisoned.What us stayed out most of the people of South Africa was the pace and attitude towards life. Although I had all the responsibilities we have in the West seem much more relaxed and certainly considerably less driven. You can put the time and opinions But most seemed to be a cultural approach to life, which really appealed to our family. Long lazy lunches in the evenings and weekends spent at the beach or barbeque.So so, in fact, since its return, he adopted the same lifestyle as much as we can in wet old England. Of course, we have no TV dinners and sit together at the table is the dining room or outside if weather permits. The upshot is the content much more relaxed and familiar.
