it must be love....part deux...

this is the second installment of our weekend away - we went to Old Mac Daddy's Trailer Park in the Elgin Valley - one of my new favorite places!  love this quirky, beautiful place tucked away in the mountains along the valley road off the N2.  i have been wanting to go here, or one of their sister resorts, Daddy Long Legs and the Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town for a while now, mainly to see their creative designs.  Old Mac Daddy consists of villas and old fashion amercian trailers, each with the inside designed to a specfic theme by a SA designer. The park also has its own restaurant, The Barn; swimming pool; lake for fishing and cycling trails - although Nick and I weren't feeling very energetic for the cycling part!  We were staying in the King Midas trailer, situated right on the lake.  This place was the perfect way to end a brilliant weekend - and we are definitely wanting to go back there soon and take a few friends with!
