Hubby and I are making the most of being on our own, so elope at every opportunity we can, which unfortunately is not as often as we'd like, but we are thankful, as we're being kept real busy in our BnB!
Mom Lily lived with us for nearly 20 years, and we mostly included her in all our jaunts, so even though she left us over three months ago to go to her forever home, it still feels like I've left something behind whenever we go out; really a weird feeling!
Earlier that day we had some BnB business to attend to and as it's just down the road from one of our favourite shopping malls, the Pavilion, we took a drive there to have lunch.
Guess what, we actually found a parking bay at the Pensioners' Parking and discovered a vintage caravan in the middle of the mall ;)
Now that it's just the two of us shopping. there are fewer restrictions like we can take the escalator and don't have to wait for the lifts, which are especially busy with shoppers pushing shopping trolleys!
On entering, there's a tailor's shop, for the discerning gentleman; they get to choose their own fabric and design, of course, and naturally go for many fittings till everything is perfect!
We passed the CUM Christian Book Stores, Typo which is a stationery & gift store and Rain which specializes in natural skincare products.
Our last stop before lunchtime was Dischem, a large pharmacy with a vast range of healthcare and beauty products. We needed to replenish the vitamins supplies and get just a handful of healthy treats; traditional South African Rusks, I chose Pecan Nut, and delicious peanut brittle.
Our favourite casual dining spot in the mall is Centre Court, with comfy seating and a good central view of the mall. The mirrored ceiling always fascinates me as everything is upside down when one looks up!
Two cappuccinos coming up, one with a big heart and the other a tiny little heart!
Hubby chose his favourite, a toasted Chicken Mayo sandwich with chips, and my order was a Veg Stir-fry with noodles; way too much so I took a doggy bag home. My friend always says it's for Ron - later-on!
Looking down where they always have something special happening, we spotted a vintage caravan that still looks in good nick, but certainly belongs to a museum and not on the road ;)
A really nice morning and we reminisced about the days we used to go camping, compared to nowadays where many go glamping, with everything set up by the resorts, especially if the gals go with!
We prefer time-share resorts these days, as this old silvery gal simply does not have the energy to pack the whole kitchen sink!
So I hope you enjoyed walking through the Pavilion with me as my contribution to @dswigle's #marketfriday. The lovely Denise told us more about the beautiful Bar Harbour with really stunning photographs! Take a look if you don't want to miss out!
