Marvelous Union Buildings
#timetotravel
When you have the chance to spend some time in Pretoria I definitely recommend you to check out the Union Buildings with their beautiful public gardens and surroundings. We went there around five in the afternoon and the lighting was perfect. Afterwards we walked around the area and watched many locals play football and rugby. The area is great and quite and very clean #familytravel #deliciousfood
