As a toddler Jessica always admired these fun animal-themed rides found at various malls and shopping centres around the country from a safe and secure distance. However, viewing alone wouldn’t cut it for very much longer!

We were entertaining Retha who had come to South Africa for a year-end visit, and after a relaxing lunch at the Spur in Somerset Mall, Jessica seized the opportunity to grab Auntie Retha and lead her to the Pony Cycles.

A green dragon was the choice for the day, a seat was taken, and off they went, smiles firmly planted on faces (though admittedly Jess wasn’t quite strong enough to move it completely unassisted!).
