EAT BREAKFAST OFF A SHOVEL !!!

"THERE'S A GREAT BIG COLOURFUL WORLD OUT THERE" 

Making every moment count  is something we all enjoying doing especially when we find the opportunity to spend time with someone we don’t get to see often.  That’s exactly why my youngest brother and I decided to explore Cullinan, a small town, rich in history, 30 km east of Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa.

The town is named after diamond magnate Sir Thomas Cullinan and on 25 June 1905, the famed Cullinan Diamond, the largest in the world at 3,106 carats was discovered. 

We strolled through the quaint main street, lined with Jacaranda and Oak trees and sandstone cottages, now used as shops and restaurants. The place was buzzing with visitors in and out of the antique shops, coffee shops and arts and crafts stalls.
 After hours of looking for interesting GEMS,  antiques and second hand 'finds' we settled down for a very late breakfast at Oppistasie, a full a-la-cart restaurant in the old station building, built in 1902 and situated literally on the railroad tracks. 
The food was served on shovels with short handles...a real talking point!
