Day 2, Part 2... Hot, tired and hungry, we arrive Day 2, Part 2...

Hot, tired and hungry, we arrived at @_duesouthbistro_ where we were greeted like old friends and served with refreshments. 
The staff were warm, welcoming and the atmosphere was completely relaxed. 
I felt right at home, and so did Loki who promptly used the opportunity to have some water and take a nap while I had lunch and admired the thoughtfully decorated nautical interior and view of Jubilee Square and main road from the window. 

These guys make a huge effort to use local and seasonal products.
Their food is well priced, beautifully presented, perfectly prepared and VERY generous in portion sizes!

I would have stayed all day, but we  headed out for a walk about town with a hot, freshly brewed cup of @_justroasted coffee in hand.

There are so many interesting shops, places to eat and historical buildings to see up and down the main road of Simon's Town. Many of these places welcome well behaved dogs, and there are quite a few water bowls out on the walkway to keep your pup hydrated along the way. 

This town holds so much beauty, history and hidden treasures.
I feel so incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to show you a small fraction of what it's like to explore it with your dog, and hope you are inspired to come and discover even more for yourself 🐕

Thank you for joining us on this adventure, and wishing you all a beautiful day and week ahead.

Chantal & Loki 🖤
Day 2, Part 1... Bosky Dell hosted us for the nig Day 2, Part 1...

Bosky Dell hosted us for the night, and we got to unwind from a busy day and soak in the peaceful atmosphere and gorgeous views of Boulders Beach.
Everyone was warm and welcoming, including the two resident Border Collies (Dusty and Leila) who made sure we received the warmest of welcomes at the gate, and announced our arrival with enthusiasm!

Bosky Dell are pet friendly by prior arrangement with management, and usually accommodate small to medium dogs that are well socialised with both people and other dogs.

Both myself and Loki were extremely comfortable in our beautiful cottage, and enjoyed a good night's rest with the scent and sound of the ocean drifting soothingly through our windows. 

We went for a sunset and sunrise walk along the Boulders Boardwalk, and spotted tons of penguins, a few Cape Dassies, and a collection of beautiful flowers and birds.

On our morning walk, we continued along Burghers Walk and made our way to Windmill Beach so Loki could enjoy a quick dip in the ocean before taking on the rest of the day. 

After all the walking, sunshine, sights, fresh ocean air and a swim, it was off to town to go see some more sights and visit one of the local restaurants for lunch.
More on that in the next post...
Happy Birthday, Just Nuisance! Our first day in S Happy Birthday, Just Nuisance!

Our first day in Simon's Town was jam-packed with adventure and fun! 

We started by fuelling ☕ up at @bluedoorcoffeeroasters before heading to Long Beach for the start of the walk to Jubilee Square, where we met loads of enthusiastic people and dogs, eager to celebrate this historic day together. 
The walk was lead by the Nelson Mandela Artillery Pipe Band, and they made sure the whole town knew we were coming through!

We then visited @collectables_hub_and_cafe where we would probably need to spend an entire week to see every treasure the store holds.
They have a great menu which includes bagels, fresh juices, hot drinks and their famous carrot cake.
Loki took the opportunity to get a photo in the iconic telephone box as well ☎️

We headed through to the @simonstown_museum to brush up a bit on our historical knowledge,
and then headed to our accommodation for the evening, more of which we will tell you about tomorrow!

Thank you to every wonderful person we met, and every place that hosted us for welcoming both myself and Loki (even more so!) with such warmth.

It was such an honour to take part in the day's events, and we are off to bed to rest and recharge so we can take you along on a few more adventures tomorrow 🐕🐾

Instagram take over this weekend by @lifewith_loki Instagram take over this weekend by @lifewith_loki_ 🐾🙌 Follow the #dogfriendly adventures in #simonstown this weekend where Chantal and Loki will be taking over our socials and showcasing their adventures in Simon’s Town including an invitation to the biggest birthday celebration of the year, Just Nuisances birthday! 🐾 

👋 Meet Chantal and Loki 🐕 

My name is Chantal, and the tall, dark, handsome (and 4 legged) fella by my side is Loki without whom I am almost never seen. 
My biggest joy comes from our walks and adventures together, and I am always seeking out new beaches, parks, coffee shops and restaurants where he is as welcome (if not more so) as I am. 

We moved to Simon's Town in 2018, and have lived in the Southern Peninsula ever since. 
I completely fell in love with the stunning beaches, the warm and welcoming community and the number of pet friendly places in the area, and Simon's Town in particular holds a huge part of my heart. 

It is a beautiful town, known mostly for the Naval Base and Penguin Colony to tourists and visitors. But those of us who like to think of it as home, know it has so much more to offer than meets the often rushed eye of those passing through. 

Taking my time to walk with Loki and exploring with a curious heart and eye, has enabled me to discover numerous treasures and stories over the years, and I am more than excited to share just a few of those with you and encourage you to stop by for a day or three and discover some of your own.

Stay tuned 🐾
