Worldly Wanders #3 - Warrior Toy Museum, Simon's Town, South AfricasteemCreated with Sketch.

My dad told me to go have a look at the toy museum in Simon's Town. I missed it driving down the coast but fortunately spotted it on the way back.

This quaint little shop is jam packed with old toys (most of them behind glass) from ages past.

What was my favourite item there? The complete model train set, of course! I'm sure most guys would agree with that :) Just loved all the attention to detail!

This boxed set even rekindled old memories of when I was a kid - I had the EXACT same one!

Make sure you pay them a visit when in the area. The old man who owns the store is an absolute joy to chat to.
