Going up the long drive way is definitely impressive when you enter this spectacular wine estate. The WoW Factor is def there!! Check www.delaire.co.za for stunning pics. Somehow I forgot to take pictures of the estate, probably because I was in awe!! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with African arts and features a MASSIVE fire [...]
Jeez!! What a match and I was in the stadium AGAIN, here in Cape Town, just down the road from where I live! I can’t believe it how much I love this soccer world cup and how much I am involved in all of it. Of course, to start with, it helps that I’m Dutch [...]
Just got back from dinner at Maze. Was on my list for quite some time. Had tried Nobu already last year which was outstanding and now me and my friend, Paul, from Holland ended up in the One&Only before he had to get back onto the plane to Hollland.
I must say, when walking into the [...]
Finally I made it to this stunning place that has been on my to-do list for at least the last year. It’s not a place to go to if you a last-minute weekend-planner because it’s fully booked all the time. So I was pleasantly surprised when I phoned last Monday and managed to get in [...]
This country just doesn’t stop to surprise me with all the beautiful spots to be visited. To be honest, I only had visited Vergelegen in Somerset West and was looking forward to visit a new winey.

The newly build Cape Town stadium came alive yesterday with a deafening sound of thousands of vuvezala’s. No announcement could be heard but who cares about announcements anyway? The heat of the sun was something I worried about more. Aj, I was SO hot. Box 119, not a good one for a match in Summer [...]
Morning! I just come back from a short walk on Hout Bay Beach. How I love this place! It MUST be one of the most beautiful places in the world and definitely in South Africa. The lovely bay with the breathtaking Chapmans Peak Drive on one side and the quaint harbour on the other side.The [...]
Last weekend was one of those STUNNING Cape Town weekends where you just want to be outside and spend as much time in nature as possible. Luckily we had organised to go hiking in the Cape of Good Hope area, about an hours drive from Cape Town city centre. Boy, how blessed are [...]

Carne Restaurant in Keerom Street, CBD, Cape Town. WoW!! For the REAL carnivore what a treat! Everything was perfect, venue, menu, waiter (we love you Mike, we do!), except…..1 little thing, the seats of the chairs were quite small. Now, well, I’m not exactly a size petite but I think more people might [...]
