Hey guys
I hope you are all doing fantastic despite the rainy weather if you are in Joburg.
After everything that happened with my jaw surgery, work being busy and just life in general being busy, my parents and I have been absolutely drained emotionally, mentally and physically. We decided it was finally time for us to go away on holiday.
At first we wanted to go to a really nice hotel we saw in Ballito, on the website this hotel looked like the perfect holiday spot to relax and unwind. Little did we know, that was the opposite of what we got (I am not going to name the hotel). I won’t go into too much detail but to summarise the experience, the rooms were a lot smaller than what was promised and they did not inform us that they were under construction. We were supposed to go for 10 days but my dad decided to instead book us into the Umhlanga Cabanas and that was the best decision we had made. So on the second day there we packed our bags and went to Umhlanga. Thankfully dad got a refund.
Our Umhlanga holiday has been as close to perfect as you could ever get, we have had a great time here. Everybody is so friendly and the rooms are a better size to accommodate the 3 of us. We were supposed to only stay for a week because the Cabanas is a timeshare place and so you can only stay from Saturday to Saturday. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to spontaneously extend our stay another week, which was a great decision.
We have eaten at amazing restaurants, I definitely have a few favourite restaurants , as an example, my favourite breakfast restaurant is M&J. There’s been some live music at the hotel, we have played Bingo and chilled at the pool getting some R&R and watching all the activities. It really has been great and relaxing. We went to Umdloti for the day and walked on the beach as well as Salt Rock, I actually ate curry for the first time and enjoyed it (I am not a lover of spice, so this was big for me).
We did bring our laptops with so that we could do some work, thankfully we can work remotely from anywhere.
I hope you enjoyed my blog post and I hope you have a fantabulous day.
Bye xx
