.........biker chic .. African Queen......





            mojo  :   vooma ,  muchness , ggrrrrr factor , oomph , zing , essence , personal magic





          mojo makes one seem and feel sexy , appealing , invincible and in control........................

.......love , usually awakes the mojo.....................



.................................guess what ?   ..          i think i have mojo , being a peacock , i know !
       its in me , inherently .............., sometimes , buried quite deep

........but ............. im looking to unlock my mojo forever ..................


                           this thing called 'LIFE'..........aint going to stop me.............'





.....so when A announced to me that a conference was looming in the near future ,  and that spouses were invited along , i accepted enthusiastically.............for my own selfish reasons .............' time out '... get off the treadmill of life .............and look for my mojo ..............just love this word !
                                                       just saying it gives me ooomph!...............................

.........................................................it was to be held  @ Sun City............a mere two hours away from home ,


                                a treat ,  he booked us into The Palace @ The Lost City.....    a real life fairytale African Palace........   inspired by a fantasy lost African tribe ,



      
                                 The Palace has been lavishly created with rich architecture , mosaics and frescos that add to the mystical ambiance and magical aura.............................and if  you are reading this and are not South African , maybe the eight wonder of this world !
                       im sure that was in   Mr Kerzners vision when he began building his dream in the obscurities of  The North West Region of South Africa ..............really speaking ...........in the middle of nowhere......................




         A's career path has taken him to all sorts of faraway places , being the Mrs , i  have been fortunate enough to travel with him to fantastic destinations , sometimes  hot and exotic  .........and sometimes vibrant , fast paced , exuberant cities

.............................................experiencing our worldly world , opens up the mind , the senses , and most definitely exposes  the taste buds!............ to new possibilities ,
                                                                                gives one a larger perspective of the bigger picture of our time here in this world ...........just allows for growth on so many frontiers..............
                                    on a Naadia Note ............ i now know , i dont particularly like or enjoy ,OK ,  let me put it to you this way .............i enjoy Luxurious Travel ............period!
                   ....................Bourgeois ! .......... i know!.....................




                          so , The Palace , was going to be delicious ! ...........right ...............like the breakfasts !..............................

..........................iv decided , that out of all the aspects that i could have chosen to blog about................i HAD to choose the breakfast................yes , most definitely , ...............the breakfast did it for me ! i had three days of solitary breakfasts   .... just me , myself  , and my thoughts  , of course!  ..... perfect !

                              and did i indulge , oh , of course ! , i ate more with my eyes though , than i physically was able to............i have never ever , never ever , seen such a spread!.............................

                                           temptations to suit all palettes , ............... however differentiated you may be in your peculiarities ............ or simply  ........... whatever it was ,  that you could have salivated for .....................was there!


THE CRYSTAL COURT

     as i walked down the imposing , regal staircase every morning down to The Crystal Court .......... i must admit i felt rather like ......... ahem ............vivid imagination !!...... again ...........Marie Antoinette ..........i suppose would have felt.........at her Palace Of Versailles ................ well , a feast of feasts ................... definitely befitting of a queen .............. albeit ...... me , Naadia ............. a biker chic African Queen .............................mojo magic!




....................................and you just know , that when food is so well presented  , its going to taste as good as it looks...............
