This is the view from Signal Hill, Cape Town. You can vaguely see Robben Island in the background.

100 Visitors As Of Yesterday!!

Well, it's official. As of yesterday, this blog has recieved over 100 visitors since I put the counter up, which was last Friday. Not bad for 5 days :)

All here to see The Butterfly growing up, day to day, and share with us in this amazing experience.

The Watering Hole

Hhmm.... been there, done that, got the crappy lunch.

Multi-Tasking, Sayed Style

Getting Rashid Ahmed's lunch ready while we wait for our Take-Outs, outside Biesmillah's in Bo' Kaap

In Bo' Kaap

Outside Bismiellah's Take-Aways in Bo' Kaap.

Bo' Kaap

This is Bo' Kaap in Cape Town. I love the colourful houses, narrow roads and even more colourful people. Table Mountain in the background.

Survivor: Cape Town

This is Nida and Ayubs cool pad in Milnerton, known as Base Camp for the 2 weeks we're going to be here.

View From Ayubs Home

This is the view from Nida and Ayubs garden. Table Mountain in the background, and Tygerhof Primary School in the foreground.

Nida & Rashid Ahmed

2 years ago, this picture would have been a mere figment of our imagination.

This is The Maidens sister, Nida, with her bundle of joy, Rashid Ahmed.

Pretty As A Picture

Ok, the next couple of days will just be posts with pics, very little text. There's just no time for text. Yesterday alone we took over 250 pictures!!! Besides, im pretty sure half of the readers of this blog dont come here for the stories and text anyways :)

Family Circle 2

Family Circle

My Cuzzzziinn !!

Sabreen and Rashid Ahmed chilling in their play-pen, getting to know each other a bit better.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

Well ok, maybe not exactly Sunday since this is Tuesday, but at 2 in the afternoon and us all still in our PJ's, you know the holiday has officialy started.

Have Lungs, Will Scream

Nothing exercises the lungs better than a nice good screaming session. Rashid Ahmed looks like he's gonna have a great set of lungs on him :)

High 5 Cape Town Style

You know Ayubs lightie is gonna run the show in Cape Town when he can High 5 at 6 weeks old!!

Bonding With Ayub

This is the first time Ayub got to see The Butterfly, and also the first time I got to see Rashid Ahmed. Needless to say, there were two very excited kids, and Rashid Ahmed and Sabreen were excited too ;)

Meet Rashid Ahmed Sayed

This is Nida and Ayubs cutie pie son Rashid Ahmed. (Nida is The Maidens sister, and Ayub is her hubby of course, my brother-in-law). We arrived in Cape Town around 9 last night, and both The Butterfly and Rashid Ahmed were quick to let us know who rules the roost. By midnight we were all totally knackered, and im surprised the neighbours didnt come a-knocking to ask us to keep the snoring down.
