Weekend tips

Weekends can go fast if you are not careful. But sometimes you don't really know what to do. There are a few interesting things to do in Pretoria. I recently visited the Sammy Marx Museum. There is a lovely tea garden which has tables outside under the trees. You can order a picnic basket or even attend of of thei picnic concerts.

The house itself is the museum and you can take the hour and a half guided tour which is a must. There are also specialised tours such as a ghost tour which includes a five course meal in the house kitchen.

Another great excursion is a visit to the "Voortrekker" Monument. There is also a tea garden and lovely lawns to spend a lazy afternoon. One gets a sense of the "Boere Trots" and how much they really suffered.
