A Big Movie Experience - thanks to the Colonel

We used to go to the drive-in when we were small, but it has mostly disappeared and we do not have any in our immediate vicinity.

Even though it was raining Saturday afternoon, we packed our picnic bag, and headed out to Diggers Rugby Club in Randburg. For a picnic-in with a movie!
The Colonel organised the Big Movie Experience.
For free! With lots of toys for big and small.

The Little Missy loved running around on the open grass, and we watched Avengers with a lot of pyrotechnic light displays!
(AND the rain stayed away!)

We have a Super Heroes photo to show as well!

I hope KFC plan some more of these? It was a ball!

The Cradle Restaurant

What do you do on a Sunday morning when you want to get outside and the blue sky is beckoning?
Especially when the urban dwelling feels a bit stuffy in this heat.

The one thing that is great about living in Johannesburg in South Africa: We do not have to drive very far to get to the outdoors...

The Cradle Restaurant - sitting on the deck

One of the places we wanted to check out for a long time is The Cradle Restaurant at The Cradle of Humankind near Lanseria.

The ride to and from the restaurant in a golf cart was a definite highlight as well!

Just one note of caution: The breakfast buffet is fantastic, but it is a bit expensive!
(Especially when the budget is a bit low this time of the month... Ouch!)

Next time we will go a bit earlier to still get an option for the A La Carte Menu and to visit The Cradle of Humankind at Maropeng, which is nearby.


Which places do you recommend in the Johannesburg area if you want to get a bit of fresh air?
