#RussianBearSA Weekend away with Laduma Ngxokolo in Pictures...


#RussianBearSA weekend away with Laduma Ngxokolo and #MaXhosa


Off to OR Tambo International Airport to catch the flight down to Cape Town for the weekend.


I still believe that the best way to start any busy weekend is with a Vida e Caffè Double Espresso Con Panna and a 70% Cocoa choc...


The best seat in the house I rate... Emergency Seat Aisle... They have extra legroom! 


And boarding first makes the whole process so much better too.


Perfect... I have all the seats next to me open! 


A Menu that changes daily would keep me coming back for more! 


The only way to enjoy a Dinner in Cape Town is a Dinner with Wine... (Wait... Make that any meal! One needs wine with every meal!) 


Duck Breasts served with a Plum Sauce and Pears...


Green Thai Coconut Chicken served with Thai Noodles...


Lemon Tart served with a Gooseberry Purée...


Just love Hotel living... Fresh Sheets and the Best Pillows!


Some TV before I hit the bed before the big day! 


But 1st... Lemme take a Selfie! 


The Famous Double Tree by Hilton Cookie...
