Hello Holidays | Cape Town Day 3

No Comments »

Hello Friends!

Last night the internet was being uber sketchy so I eventually put the images on to upload and went to sleep hoping they'd be done by morning. I think it was an issue with google though because I couldn't upload an image to an e-mail either. Anyhow...here they are now...a little bit late - but here nonetheless!

We had a crazy day yesterday although Cape Town on the whole seems to be a little quieter than the day before which truly is a blessing. Flocks of thousands of people - not cool.

I had a terrible experience at a very upmarket restaurant at the V&A yesterday and wrote them a snotty e-mail last night. Besides that, we had a wonderful day...

We met up with one of my childhood friends whom I saw about 10 years ago last and had a wonderful meal with her and her friends and we also sent postcards home even though we might arrive home before they do....

We went on a Sunset cruise on a Catamaran (I say it was a yacht...) and froze to death...but it was worth it and then we came home to bustling streets and a warm shower which was super welcome to two salty people!

A good day on the whole!
Some pics...

Beluga - a upmarket restaurant makes Mojito ice lollies that are so refreshing and yummy!

Pre-bad experience...I was desperate for a good piece of fish - Leeron...not so keen.

He had a coke,..

All the staff at the post office had a good laugh at this postcard which we sent home!

Me - very excited but already cold - on the yachtmaran

Lee looking all suave and yachty...

I just love this pic of us!

And this one...genuine happy smiles!

The disgusting piece of fish that I paid R256 for. yuck.

Lee signing off some post cards...

The sunset from the yachtmaran

The harbour and the view of the beautiful V&A - no filter.

Looking young and tanned and fit and ready!

Hello Holidays | Cape Town Day 2

No Comments »

Hello Friends!

Today, the temperature reached 42° C. You read right - 4 - 2.
Anyhow...We missed breakfast (Alarm set, alarm goes off, Wendy puts it off, Wendy goes back to sleep) so we meandered down to New York Bagel for a lazy breakfast and then hit the V&A again for a few hours of shopping and browsing. The weather was just so hot that you wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere but close to air conditioning, so we escaped to the mall. Terrible I know.

We ended up getting back quitte late and relaxed a bit and then headed to dinner. After sussing out the options we settled on a very unpretentious little Italian restaurant with tables out on the pavement and ate really good, hearty Italian food. Yum!

And now, it's time for bed! No late sleeping tomorrow!

Perhaps still waking up a bit...but keen on a good breakfast at NYB!

Am I being obviously Jewish by having a salmon cream cheese bagel with Israeli pickles for breakfast? Cos Leeron had kitka french toast...

I took this photo to demonstrate how I can shop for hours and how Lee is down on a chair in minutes. He's actually not a bad shopper at all!

I'm allergic to avocado, so salmon maki is a safer option for me. It was good to enjoy some fresh sushi for the first time in a long while! Doesn't it just look so beautiful on the plate!?

Lee's mom doesn't believe that I eat sushi because I hardly ever do due to the allergy...so this serves as proof! (Note the beautiful ocean view which came standard)

This blog seems to be turning into a food blog...oi va voy! But this gnocchi was just melt-in-the-mouth good :)

What a genuine smile....I interrupted the Mexicana eating process ;) 


That's it for today! Chat soon!
