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 [...]

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 [...]
