a long-legged birthday surprise

Today was Matt's 34th birthday, and after a french toast & maple syrup breakfast, a giraffe came to pay him a visit!

We have been "extremely hectic" packing and planning our journey and throwing a party was the last thing on our minds.

So we decided to take the night off and celebrate at one of our all-time favourite Cape Town restaurants: Miller's Thumb.

Afterwards we went to see Into The Wild, a journey about a young man finding his way to his dreamland: Alaska.

Based on a true story, the film tracks his wild adventures and experiences but when he finally reaches Alaska, only then does he realize what true happiness is, and that is to enjoy the journey and the people that you come across, and not the destination.

We couldn't ask for a more suitable film for the journey we are about to embark on in just a little over a week.

Happy Birthday Lovely!
