Is there anything better than a break from the city with a great group of girls? Spent some much-needed time, drifting on the Brokhortspruit dam this weekend.
We arrived around 7 on Friday evening, just in time for the sun to set and have a few beers on the deck. The tequila was singing that night…. with a massive fire crackling in the background, bouts of craziness where we jumped into the icy dam and back into the steaming water of the swimming pool. The early morning rays were touching the horizon, when I finally made my way to bed, overlooking the tranquil waters of the dam.
The good thing about still waking up tipsy, is that you don’t realize that there may be a massive hangover brewing… woke up and had some awesome bloody marys on the deck. Afterwards I spent the rest of the morning floating around on the quiet water with a beer in hand. Later the afternoon it was boat rides on the dam, tricks on the jet skies and tanning in the sun, drinking vodka and OJ.
The evening we had the neighbours over, spent our time between the dam and the swimming pool, drinking wine and serenading to ABBA.
By Sunday morning, we all realized we were not spring chickens anymore. Where have the days gone where we could spend a week partying at a festival, like there was no tomorrow? We packed up early to make our way back home, where I spent the whole day licking my wounds, until the kids' dad dropped them last night.
Back at school today, still feeling a bit fragile this morning though, I think I need a proper week of rest and a detox just to regroup after this epic weekend!
