Well a bit off the theme and BIG ORANGE beat i have changed my ratings of horses to restaurant's.

We had to give the granddaughter back yesterday, heartbroken!

I must say the sands is certainly geared up for a families, plenty to do and loads of play centres for the kids.

They also have the famous "SPUR" steak house, great for kids and noice levels but IMO if it was not for the play park i cant see how people actually go there for a dining experience?
As far as food (after 2 visits ) the rating is 4 out of 10

On the other hand the KING PRAWN was first class as far as food and service and would go 8.5 out of 10 and keeping to a racing theme 17/20

Its great to have a break and thanks to Zoro, his turn next .

Should also mention we went to Food Lovers Market in the new shopping mall .

It was only to buy a few odds and ends, but we ended up parking the trolley and having a very reasonably price breakfast, just keep in mind as you sit there you look for extras you can add to the trolley.

5/10 is the rating

I was looking for a bottle store and found one on the opposite corner from the King Prawn, a bit of a dive, poor selection of wines and high prices considering the premises.
Not sure of name ? 2/10
However was told to go to SPAR , great wine selection, plus found Cruxland gin (try it very good)
Plus bacardi (for daves special) JWB etc to ensure we dont have dehydration with the hot weather.

Friendly Spar where ever you are, can also have 17/20

Going for a swim

After Goodwood results

Good punting if you have to ?

Must say slight negative, cocktails only after 10 but the entertainment lad had a compo, which i just won

You had to put as many clothes pegs on your body in one minute, was in the final with young lass with a flowing white dress and i had only my tango speedos !!

We had 30 each but weight for ages kicked in and i won by a short head as my eyes were buldging

Ok time for tequila sunrise

We were in the town or village today and one gets the impression it will be a city one day with the ammount of construction work

I remember when Umhalanga was really small and chilled

We were in a pub the george today, well situated but not nice 3/10

Back at hotel for comedy night and popped into the italian before the comedy show
Its called mastro but not as mamma would make 5/10

No bets at Goodwood pays the day ( now that is how a gambler thinks )

The band was the Gee Jays harmonies superb they might consider dropping the comedy as they are a rather brilliant trio

Music 8/10
Humour 4/10

Ok guys not sure of meaning but understand along the lines of "little gem"?

If u want proper pora cusinne this is the place , superb service and food, plus you can have a punt on an even money shot and have a free meal or pay twice , but worth it and hits the front with 9 out of 10

Well sadly fly back today, a great time and great place is Umhalanga, plenty more restaurants to visit ( maybe next time)

I did manage steak and ale 6/10

Might manage one last prego and punt before we hit the road

Good punting until next time

They do say The Puma will pay for the trip at the big T Sunday ?
