Election fever hits the Safari Tours!
May 5, 2009
Safari tours in Cape Town weren’t running on Wednesday the 22nd of April. In fact, the drivers, game rangers, owners and hoteliers weren’t at work. Collectively, the whole of Cape Town came to a standstill. Where on earth was everyone?
They were queuing. They queued in the freezing morning, and watched as the dominating Table Mountain [...]

May 4, 2009
South Africa is a stunning country, and you’d want to see it all in a day. But how do you get around? Is it safe to drive, or should the Cape Town car hire companies be left for the locals that know what they are doing (to a certain extent…). Have no fear, it’s [...]

May City
March 20, 2009

The tranquil country life of Kenilworth and its well deserved peaceful sights and sounds are my ultimate rewards for having lived a life of [...]
Signs of Yesterday.
February 27, 2009
Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins once sang, ‘Today is the greatest, day I ever knew.’ And yes, today is that day for your humble narrator. I ordered a monster 23 inch Samsung LCD monitor for a price that is too good to print in this blog. You live in Cape Town your whole life, [...]
