I WANT :

This is on 'My Wishlist'.
I like very much!




I found all these at Urban Outfitters

Sishen Bridge

Can anyone remember the post on my photoblog, Kayla Layla ? The photos was taken on the famous Sishen Bridge that lies between Lutzville and Vredendal on the West Coast of South Africa.


Interesting facts about the Sishen Saldanha Railway Bridge.
- total length of 1.035km
- it's divided into 23 sections of 45m each
- each sections weighs 610 tons
- the deck of the bridge weighs 141 000 ton
- the deck was pushed into position with the aid of hydraulic jacks
- it's the longest bridge in the world that was build with this method
- the supporting pillars rest on pylons that's driven 45m into the river bed
- the highest pillar measures 52.5 m
- designed and completed by the French company Spie Batignolles in 1976


Here are a few photos



We were in the middel of the bridge when we saw the train coming!! We had nowhere to go, so we just found a corner and waited! This is the photo I managed to snatch!!

Chewy Tuesday

To eat, or not to eat


When I was standing inline at KFC..VERY HUNGRY..I thought, ooooeee, let me try something new and blog about it if its REALLY nice!

I decided to try out this new Famous Bowl....






So, after I ate it I decided that I'm NOT going to blog about the Famous Bowl.

Chewy Tuesday

Today is CHEWY TUESDAY!!!


LUNCH. It was one of my colleague's Bday yesterday at the office and this was our treat!


Boerewors (boar-er-vorsh) Rolls with Mrs. Balls Chutney!
Boerewors Rolls are hot dog buns filled with a minced beef cured sausage, usually topped with a sauce of your choice. May it be Chutney, Tomato Sauce, Musterd, or SMOOR. Smoor is onion an tomato finely chopped with spices, vinegar and mustard cooked together.
sooooo YUMMMMMMM!!!

And this brings me to our Proudly South African Braaiing! A bit more primitive than America's Barbeque. We braai on the ground, on rocks, in a braai built with bricks or anything you like!


We use REAL wood and go nowhere without our 'BRAAISOUT' and most of the time we eat the meat from the coals, no dishes! what a bargain! :D

We also make tasty braaibroodjies, onions and sweet potatoes in foil, but THAT will be a story for another Chewy Tuesday!

Happy eating!!

;)
