I received an sms from Caro at My Life Organised a week ago saying, “your appointment at the French Embassy was this morning – I’ll call them later and let you know how it went.” What? Who? Shit, did I miss an appointment to get my Shengen visa for my upcoming overseas trip?We had met […]
Seth Rotherham’s primary residence in Cape Town (when not playing in The Safe House!) is a penthouse at The 5-star Cape Royale Luxury Hotel on Somerset Road in Green Point. From writing and thinking to meeting and drinking, this is where Seth conducts and facilitates “the vibe.” The 5-star Cape Royale Hotel and […]

My passion for Louis Vuitton is well documented (here, here and here) and I’d be hard pressed not to show you this blinder of a luxury toy. The Louis Vuitton “Breakfast in the dessert†trunk. Quietly enjoy this: Louis Vuitton “Breakfast in the dessert†trunk Basically what’s happened here, is a possibly-loaded Chinese […]
This is how I’m rolling at the moment. I have just returned from a weekend away in Kommetjie where The Muse and I looked after The Surfer‘s pad. I offloaded the car into The Safe House and took in the sight of my new Puma bag, shoes and jacket. I liked what I saw and […]

That’s right, the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally runs from 2 to 8 May. For those of you who don’t know what it’s about, it’s a lot like the scooter rally we went on the other day through Cape Town, except completely different. It’s a cross country/ies 3,000 miles long and is done in ultra-luxurious, rare […]
Ok, the whole “swine flu” topic is on everyone’s lips (good one) and I think it’s reaching a point where we need to be more educated on the topic. Let’s get through that, then we’ll chat about these recent local cases. A friend of mine, Wilfred Ikipedia, filled me in on the vibe. check it […]
Role play has always been enjoyed here at 2oceansvibe. You may have picked up that The Roofer enjoys quite a bit of surfing exposure, whilst The Surfer himself has recently been spotted (with great success , I might add) trying his hand at photography (here). Not that this should effect the title of The Photographer. […]
I don’t know too much about wine, to be quite honest. I drink wine that I think tastes good and that’s probably why I’ve settled for De Grendel wine. Quality stuff, easy drinking and affordable – with all the awards to boot (just in case there is a wine snob in the room!). The oldest […]
Wow, I certainly hope that this doesn’t effect our local tequila supplies. Remember when that happened a few years back? Suddenly there was no tequila in town. In fact, there was a global tequila shortage if I remember correctly. Hectique! Anyway, you may have heard about the Swine Flu outbreak all over the US. From […]
We have a few announcements today. Firstly, Goldfish have followed the trend set by The Dirty Skirts and have given 2oceansvibe the exclusive release of their new music video, Cruising Through . Let’s have a look at that, and then we’ll check out the email I received from Goldfish (currently in Brazil), as well as […]

A stunning day had by all! Andrew from the Hi-Five Scooter Club organised a scooter rally that took place on voting day (GO DOLPHINS!), yesterday, which kicked off at the Waterfront Vespa Shop, next to the Caltex station. A rally that was put together to highlight the perfect match that is scooters and Cape Town, […]
Not sure if you caught this wonderful little spot of rural graffiti. Just after the recent Table Mountain fires (here), there were a few spots in the Zonnebloem area which weren’t burnt. some of them were circles. Like this one below. Which someone drew on a smily face in the middle of the night! […]
Zinedine Zidane was spotted at V&A Waterfront’s The Greek Fisherman on Friday. This, from Tony L: Zinedine “Zizou” Zinade Spotted at The Greek Fisherman ‘Sup Seth, Had a mean lunch at the Greek Fisherman at the waterfront today. Zidane decided to make an appearance with his whole family. Oh please note the Mythos beer […]
So some friends from L.A. rolled into town for a week and managed to pack in quite a bit. They stayed at the new One & Only hotel (review pending – the jury is still out) at the V&A Waterfront and headed out each day, ticking off the various adventures to be had. It was […]
You’ll recall some time back I featured the T-Mobile “flash mob” (here)which gathered at Liverpool Station in London, England. Well, it looks like some folk in Belgium felt they should up the ante, which they did with great success – this time at Antwerp Central train station . I got this off Chris Rawlinson’s blog […]
While the Vaal Dam is pretty impressive, Table Mountain is the only local landmark that has made the second round of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.” And by “second round” I mean 261 magnificent natural sites from 222 countries. Oh, I’ve just noticed that they’re all natural… That’s probably why the Vaal Dam […]
There’s a beautiful new round of interviews that have gone down over the last week. There was also the very spicy one on Sunday in the Sunday Times Lifestyle section (CLICK HERE FOR THAT), as well as the GoTravel24 interview and the Digital Edge podcast interview. In case you missed those, check it out: […]
I was wondering where Alewyn, one of my original Caprice waiters, disappeared to. That was before I received this incredibly amazing email from him. It turns out he followed “The way of the vibe,” quit his job and gave “living the holiday” a try. And he seems to be making some headway. In Monaco, no […]
Following on seamlessly from our very recent article about Crocs crashing , comes this heart-warming email. Hi Seth, During an excursion to Hermanus this weekend we came across this T-shirt at the flea market. Don’t know if you have seen it but thought you would enjoy it. The photo was taken with my cellphone […]
Jeepers Hudders, some of the okes with properties near The Lookout Deck have done PARTICULARLY well. These houses were once ON the Lookout Deck parking lot, but now, thanks to global warming and excessive flooding (which washed away the entire car park) they have their own private beaches! Shame Small increase in property value […]
With the wedding on Saturday, we hit Plettenberg Bay after lunch on Friday. Moby Dicks on the beach next to the BI hotel (leading to “The Wedge”) came into play and I tell you what, I was bloody impressed. This was, largely, to do with the very kak view from the restaurant. The BI […]
If I wasn’t in Plett.. Yup, that’s where I am, friends. There were no planes to be had and I found myself driving to Plett for the first time in years. With The Insurance Broker , no less. Good times. And I’m happy to report they are widening that part of the road that goes […]
This came out a while back but I didn’t think you were ready to see it. Now I think you are. Hey? Are you ok with that? I couldn’t possibly imagine dealing with that. The only option is to remove oneself from the situation. Just leave. Hmm, I’m getting progressively more annoyed the longer […]
I’ve just received a superb open letter by 2oceansvibe character (“The DJ”) and former KFM morning show DJ, Nic Marais. Nic in his old position as KFM morning show DJ Nic is currently studying law at Yale after flipping a coin, having been accepted at both Yale and Harvard. Shame, he’s quite dof. So anyway, […]
Here’s a novel way to try and get people to calm down. SAA have erected (penis penis penis) signs at Johannesburg’s Jan Smuts airport, asking travelers not to take their stress out on the SAA staff. Honestly – do we care about your fragile staff? WHAT an incredibly amazing vibe! Imagine how cool […]
[This article was written live on Sunday morning] It’s been a blur of a weekend really and whatever transpired has got nothing to do with the fat joint I had this morning before establishing myself in the Arniston Hotel breakfast lounge. You see, not only are you dealing with a view which could make Batman […]
