Skateboarding Across Jozi

I consider myself a connoisseur of Joburg walking tours. When I found out there is a skateboarding tour of Joburg, I obviously had to try it.

Yoga + Bunnies

Did I mention that a few weeks ago I was invited to take pictures of a group of people doing yoga with bunnies? Bunnies – as in actual rabbits?

Two bunnies and lady doing yoga
Yup.

The Lonehill Bunnies is an animal rescue in Lonehill (near Fourways) that focuses on rescuing and caring for stray and abandoned domestic rabbits. The bunny yoga event was a fundraiser for these lost bunnies.

Hi from Malawi

Malawi.

I type the word and stare at it, say it over and over in my head.

I google Malawi and get this from Wikipedia:

The name Malawi is thought to derive from the word Maravi. The people of the Maravi Empire were iron workers. Maravi is thought to mean “Flames” and may have come from the sight of many kilns lighting up the night sky.

My Favorite Jozi Coffeeshops: Yield Coffee Bar

This post, featuring Yield Coffee Bar, is the first in an occasional series about my favorite new coffeeshops in Joburg.
