Crash
This whole market crash is serious business. The way it’s been explained to me, we are basically screwed in two years time. Recession, depression, nuclear war etc… It’s all happening and it’s happening soon. That means no more fancy Cape Town accommodation, vacations or even my nice, shiny flat! This is way too much to [...]
The Property bubble
Cape Town accommodation has always been the bright, shining light for property owners. Way back in 1998, it was predicated that the property market would one day burst, showering us cheap property prices and excessive wealth. This was sadly, not to be.

Walk the Line
Cape Town walking tours are quite possibly the best way to explore the city. Before I moved here I would have scoffed at the idea of traversing the city on foot. Jeez, have you ever taken a look at Cape Town’s layout? The whole of the Mother City basically clings to the mountain, which means [...]

Mykonos
I’m on my way now, out of Mykonos and on the road again to my Cape Town home. Judis mother surprised us both with an impromptu holiday during friday afternoon. This was no mere cheap Cape Town accomodation either er. Mykonos is roughly 110 kms outside of the city center and prides itself on being [...]
The Fast and the Furious
Yom Kippur is over. The fast which lasts 24 hours ended yesterday with a delicious bowl of beef chow mein. I had my doubts this year, as my hunger has grown in leaps and bounds since the last time. Yet I persevered. The weather is and was unfeasibly comfortable for Cape Town and the [...]
