A blog doesn’t always need to be about something hip, hot and happening, right? In my blog I just like to share all these special places in South Africa and mostly in Cape Town, where I like to spend time and that are special for me. One of my favorite spots to go to is [...]
Yesterday evening I was invited to take part in an experience, organised by Coffeebean Routes in Cape Town. Coffeebean Routes proudly organises unique experiences, such as a Reggae tour or Story-telling tour in order for tourists to meet and interact with interesting characters in Cape Town and the suburbs. Our guide Jacques first brought us [...]
Last Saturday we already got a little taste of what’s summer is going to be like. It was HOT, blue skies, no wind and just absolutely beautiful. So time to get out and get onto that beautiful mountain of ours. You start from the parking lot at Rhodes Memorial. You COULD have a GREAT breakfast [...]
And what a lovely day it was! Together with my friend and her mom we first drove to Riebeeck Kasteel. The weather didn’t look great for the day but road trips in South Africa, I simply LOVE! Afterwards we heard that Cape Town had been quite horrible, pouring down, so we were happy we left [...]
This morning my friend Liz and I were actually on our way to the Helderberg Nature Reserve in Somerset Wes, when we found out that THAT hike was not happening. Ok, quickly made a new plan to hike a bit closer and went to the Silvermine Nature Reserve. From Cape Town you take the M3 [...]
Everytime I have to leave Cape Town for traveling, I have all kinds of rituals that I do before leaving this magic place. It feels like I’m homesick even before having left. Oh, I MUST have that last glass of Chardonnay with that special friend and oh yes, I must have a last look at [...]
YES! The wonderful secret season in Cape Town has started. Although it will not be secret anymore for a long time because I share it now with you! Winter is about to begin and restaurants & guesthouses offer great value for money. Weather might not always be great but for example today, we had a [...]
On such a FABULOUS day as today, one should take advantage and be OUT in nature. So yes, finally, I went for a hike again. After all family and friends visiting I now have some time again to go hopefully on some more hikes. I had never been up to Elephants Eye so it was [...]
Hey hey, new look to the wordpress dash board. Not sure how to change the fonts. Would love to use my favourite one, Verdana. Anyway, last weekend I had my second surfski class in Fish Hoek. WoW! Everything went SO much better than the first time. I couldn’t believe it. I managed to stay on [...]
Yes, last weekend I was very active and into all kinds of activities. Hiking is one of my favourite things to do, almost sacred to me. The mountains around Cape Town and the peninsula are just magic. So last Sunday I joined 2 of my hiking buddies, Dave & Sean on another amazing hike. Although [...]
Last Saturday we had the most stunning weather in Cape Town and we hoped Summer now finally has begun. So I happily joined my friend Rika for a surf ski class on Fish Hoek Beach. The drive from Houtbay to Fish Hoek is a pleasure on it’s own. WoW! Do we live in a stunning [...]
Last Saturday I did another stunning hike at that magic mountain of ours, Table Mountain. This time we hiked up to the cable car via India Venster, not an obvious route. We met at 8h30 at the lower cable station. As it was the first hot summer day in Cape Town, there were many people [...]
Finally, I saw the beautiful wild flowers here in South Africa. Every year, August / September, are the months to admire the wild flowers. We drove up to the West Coast National Park, only an hour’s drive from Cape Town and entered the Postberg Nature Reserve. It was a stunning Sunday, beautiful sunshine, so the flowers [...]
