Braai, Balkan Beatbox and Market on Main in Joburg

When the so called "summer" has brought nothing but non stop rain since I arrived back in Joburg in the beginning of January, a good old fancy dress party always gets me in a good mood. Especially when it's combined with good friends, a lovely braai at my friend Tuva's place in lovely Melville and followed by a lazy Sunday at the market surrounded by cool designs and lovely food.

We went to a Balkan beatbox party in Newtown where the music (read: clarinette and traditional Balkan style instruments) was pumping and the chickens were flying (well.. nearly ..)  Great fun! We spent Sunday chillin around Joburg CBD and were really impressed by the premiere of the Market on Main Street! Perfect for a lazy Sunday!

Lovely Sunday breakfast in the sun sorted us out

... followed by a trip to the Market on Main, where the coffee was divine

Some of the peeps in the market looked slightly more fresh and energized than us :)
