Mother’s Day
To celebrate mother’s day, my mom brought the entire family “trekking” at the Southern Ridges. We got on the bridge along Alexandra Road, and ended up at Mount Faber. According to my dad, we walked like 4 kilometers or something like that.
Everyone brought cameras except for my brother, which naturally made him Superstar of the Day. At first he was really enthusiastic…
… but then he ran out of gas really quickly.
(Sorry for the totally inconsistent lighting. I was trying to make the photos look arty, but then I realized that it didn’t really work very well with people in the photos. Ahem.)
So anyway, there were tons of walking, getting mildly disoriented, spying on my brother doing weird pee poses, and then more walking. We did so much walking my thighs died on me. Again. Well, they never really recovered from Friday’s Hip Hop dance session, but I was totally feeling the ache all over again this morning.
Then we arrived at the Henderson Wave. At least I think that’s what it’s called?
Great view from the top.
It’s super duper long and I thought it was something like 400 meters above ground, but I’ve got so extreme a fear of height that anything above 50 meters off-ground looks like 500 meters to me, so I don’t know how accurate my estimations are.
So that’s about it! I was surprised there weren’t more people on the Henderson Wave though, since it’s got a great view and is really well-designed and everything. They even have these parts of the bridge where you can sit around and chill and… stuff. Good spot for dating, me thinks :D
