Mario’s, a popular Italian restaurant on Main Road in Green Point is on fire, and not in the positive, figurative kind of way.
All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel. As it is my primary residence, you can imagine what intimate never-seen-before details were caught on camera. The virtual tour itself let’s you cruise around the Cape Royale hotel (spinning 360 degrees […]
Green Point is ramping up the killer World Cup vibes. Most of us frenzied Capetonian vibers will already know this, but those of you from outta-town will most definitely appreciate this vibe. You know the London Eye? Well…
A 2oceansviber sent me a PDF of what must be the most comprehensive pack of old Cape Town photos ever. We’ve all seen those shots from the 50’s and 60’s, but it’s not often you see shots from 1900! Check out Clifton: Clifton, Cape Town – circa 1900 Pretty sick, hey? There are literally HUNDREDS […]
Much like the hilarities found on Craiglist classifieds websites around the world, our very own online classifieds website, Gumtree, has been known to give us the odd corker from time to time. Take this ad, for example: Hello, So firstly; this room is only available for a female. Sorry guys; it’s already two of us […]
The FIFA 2010 World Cup™ kicks off this week and it is clear that soccer fever has hit Cape Town. With the sound of vuvuzela’s throughout the city and every second car dressed with flags and mirror socks, it’s easy to see that Cape Town is ready to welcome the world. Cape Town Tourism has […]
Were you there on the day they shot this? Or maybe your girlfriend was, with another guy? Or maybe your boyfriend said he was using his spare season ticket to take a friend. Which friend exactly did he take? Not that we should turn this into something sinister! It’s just completely amazing technology they are […]
Morning boys and girls. By golly, do we have some fun for you this morning. Ever been the victim of camera theft? Ever thought a retrieved photo of your sun burnt gluteus maximus might pave the way for you recovering your camera? Well, you can think it now. We got this email from a truly […]
Are YOU ready? If you’ve been toying with the idea of defaulting on your home loan or joining a Russian acrobat troupe for a while now, go for it. Last week, students on UCT’s upper campus were the victims of random and ferocious pamphlet bombings by people wearing “May 21, 2011” T-shirts. Naturally lured in […]
Aaah yeah, that’s right… it’s all happening on MARCH 19! You know the party is going to be big when the venue was chosen specifically for its size – so as to accommodate the sheer number of people! What am I talking, you ask? Oh nothing, just “THE VIBE” – a party in Camps Bay […]
A new website, by the name of www.stephaniekohler.co.za has gone viral in South Africa’s Twitter universe. From what initially like someone’s own personal webpage, the person to which the domain name refers, “Stephanie Kohler,” has nothing to do with the website whatsoever, other than being the target of an online attack. Retribution for alleged fraudulent […]
Springbok captain, John Smit, is currently on a whirlwind book signing tour of South Africa. From Margate to Canal Walk, fans are arriving in their droves, just to get a glimpse of the global superhero and, God willing, an autograph. Not that one should expect complete support at these events, as we witness this adorable […]
Is it just sitting there on the table? Annoying you? It’s such a small amount of money, but we all know that the cost is not what we are fearing – it’s the queues at the Traffic Department – oh, the pain! When is the best time to get there? And, when I get there, […]
What do The Parlotones, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Clegg, FreshlyGround, an 18-piece Big Band Jazz Group, Swan Lake Ballet and ABBA have in common? I’ll tell you what they have in common – they’re all a part of the latest, most unique, globally recognised festival Cape Town has ever seen. I give you, AQUA FESTIVAL! […]
Twas a mere month ago that we brought you stunning images of that gentleman who risked his life hanging onto the back of a truck. Sigh.. such is the public transport situation these days. Not to be outdone, this chap took things to the next level and rode on TOP of a vehicle. “Just stay […]
Most Capetonians will know all about the radically powerful wind that was blowing on Sunday. Whilst the Safe House stood strong and came out the other side unscathed, the same can not be said for Wembley Square – the Faircape development in Gardens. Roof sheeting on the road from Wembley Square’s roof (left) The roof […]
I know what you’re thinking. How can it get to this level? It’s quite silly, really – it’s like we’re playing this game on “easy” mode.. Behold, the ULTIMATE Christmas gift.. Due to the overwhelming amount of awesome videos on 2oceansvibe, you can’t be expected to watch it all – and let’s face it, not […]
I honestly didn’t think I would ever be getting excited about an afrikaans rapper coming to Cape Town. But hey, look at global warming” – things change.. The uninitiated may want to check out the article we did on SA superstar Jack Parow a short while back. The guy has basically exploded onto the local […]
Apparently you can check some angels tanning topless somewhere in this photo. Honestly – it’s so high res that you can move the pic around and zoom in a long way. It’s virtually crystal clear on full zoom. I couldn’t find them (the topless angels). But I think what we should do is look for […]
They’ve come in from all over and well done to the peeps that took them. Whilst there certainly were many duplicates in my inbox, the following images are made of pics I received sent in from three different sources. Please enjoy these pics (there are more, make sure you see them all by following the […]
There was great concern as to the reason behind the Nazi flags flying at the University of Cape Town this weekend. Many speculated that they were hoisted for some movie being shot in and around the Mother City. Not a bad reason – certainly better than the suggestion of there being a Nazi convention being […]
I must admit I’ve been dying to do Fantastic Racing for a while now and when Cape Town Tourism invited me to a day at Killarney (same place I did the Audi Advanced Driving Course the other day) racing around in single seater racing cars, well, I couldn’t resist! This is what I found upon […]
Saturday was a busy day down in Camps Bay, with some kind of celebration/event going on. Something by the name of “Spring Tide” – resulting in hordes of youngsters over-populating the Camps Bay strip and beach. The Muse, The Photographer, Eddie S and I decided to take some refuge in the bar at The Bay […]
Portofino Restaurant opened one month ago in Cape Town. It’s where The Showroom used to be – next to Bloomsbury Luxury Cars and Harbour Edge. Maybe that is why they used the same font as Porsche cars in their logo. I recall a launch of sorts (less than a month ago), with much fanfare and […]
Courtesy of Olmeca Tequila, Pussy Natural Energy Drink, Cape Royale Hotel and 2oceansvibe. What’s more, the only beer being served was Jack Black beer and the only wine was De Grendel Rose. Just because. All the professional behind-the-scenes pics are right here. The boys…the boys! You’ve seen that face somewhere before? The venue – shame.. […]
Don’t be shy to use the term “ground breaking” as you take in an all-new feature here on 2oceansvibe, in the form of the “Cape Town Short Cuts!” (use fingers above head to indicate inverted commas). This brand new concept takes you, the very beautiful 2oceansvibe reader, onto the streets of Cape Town. Watch and […]
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]
This must be the find of the century! FINALLY, you can keep a beady eye on Cape Town’s traffic situation and possibly change your route and/or timing to suit. Just by going to THIS website. Check this out, taken yesterday at 17h23, as you get onto the N2 next to the entrance to le Waterfront. […]
Got this little pearler last week. I want you to see it. It’s really special. Stunning! Hi Seth, I hope your Hollywood adventures are going swimmingly! The cold, wet weather has returned to Cape Town this week – but I’m counteracting the appalling weather by contributing to the South African red wine sales, […]
I get a lot of stuff from the 2oceansvibers out there – stories and pics of things happening around Cape Town and earth in general. Car crashes, fires, funny people, funny things – stuff like that. Some I use, some I bin. You see, I only like the good stuff. An example of the good […]
