Anniversary weekend getaway suggestions

Post by Ryan_Cooper »

Ok I'm deciding to do this coz you guys helped Tribbles so nicely with her weekend getaway suggestions....

So here's the thing..at the end of April is my Anniversary and the wife wants to go away for like the whole weekend as a second honey moon thing, but i have no idea where to go.
Could some one please give me some good suggestions, dont really care where so long as its not too expensive and its close to cape town as we are leaving our son behind and want to be able to get back quickly if anything goes wrong.

so if any of you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated thanks

Don't know the Cape well but you could find a B&B in Hermanus - somewhere cosy and romantic.

:shock: okaaaaaaaaaaaaay then....... I'm pretty sure he's just looking for a destination not tips.

I don't know the cape. How about a nice road trip along the wine route staying at 2 or so B&B's ? Some nice wine tasting and scenery. You know what wine does to a woman. :wink:

More info is required Ryan_Cooper. What do you and yours LIKE? I mean are you gonna be stuck in teh bedroom the whole weekend as someone suggested, or do you need someplace with stuff to do? DO you even like wine?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
