Diamonds are a girl's best friend!

Yesterday morning we ate an English breakfast. We had fried egg, bacon, a tamato and mushroom mix, baked beans (Ashlyn's favourite) and toast.

After breakfast we drove to the 2 Oceans Aquarium. We saw some amazing fish, sharks and penguins. When we arrived at the penguin enclosure they were just about to feed them- so we got to see the penguins being fed! It was so cute. We also went to the touch pool and got to feel starfish, anenomes and seaweed.

This was a tank with clownfish in it. It had an open space in the bottom, where you could put your head through- so it looks like you are in the tank!

We were quite tired and hungry by this time, so we wanted to find a cafe to have a sandwich or something light to eat. We found one called Fego. Me and mom shared a tramazzini with chicken, avo and a sweet chilinaise sauce. We also had some very nice chips.

After lunch we went to the Shimansky Diamond Museum. We learnt about the history of diamonds in SA, how diamonds are cut, and how they put a price to diamonds (the 4 C's: Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carrat) There was even a replica display of very famous diamonds. That was my favorite. We also got to look at their shop where all their jewllery was on sale. I think they were trying to get us to buy something!

Afterwards we went home to have a break. This week has been so busy- it was almost to much fun to bear! Me and Ash watched some TV, while mom and dad had a nap.

When we were all well rested we got rady to go out for dinner. We had booked for a restaurant on Camps Bay, called Paranga. For starters me and Ash shared 8 pieces of sushi (Calafornia rolls with prawn). I then had the salmon salad- it had some very interesting flavours. Mom and dad had the line fish and Ash had calamari. To end it off mom, dad and I all tried their Creme Brûlée- my favorite!

It was a lovely (almost) end to a fantastic holiday.
