Yes, interestingly enough, I managed to get my hands on the Country Road 2008 Summer Catalogue . And, I tell you what, I was glad that I did. Please enjoy the absolutely ANGEL they are using for the entire ladies section! Helloooo, my laydeh! Hey!? Are you ok with that? And please, there […]
2oceansvibe Character and ex-KFM morning-show disc jockey (try saying that with a straight face), Nic Marais (AKA The DJ), has gone off to study law at Yale. People are usually pretty impressed when I tell them that, after they ask me why he is no longer hosting Cape Town’s biggest breakfast show. That’s when I […]
We mentioned on Wednesday that it would be 35 degrees on Thursday (yesterday). It was. It started with lunch at Caprice, and then it moved onto the beach. And then it came back again. It was a whirlwind. Like a whirlwind romance, but with no romance – just booze and bodies and extravagance and extreme […]
Whilst the cyclists carry on with their rant, we need to focus on more important things, like the weather. It’s 35 degrees tomorrow!HATING THAT! Hmm… I sense a Caprice lunch coming on.
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]
After the hurricanes that hit Cape Town this week (see earlier posts including trucks getting blown over outside Caprice), I am pleased to announce that everything is back to normal. This, taken today at 15h00. Utter splendour And where exactly was that taken, I hear you ask? Watch this space..
At last, visual evidence of the truck that was blown over outside Caprice yesterday. I can’t believe the photo is right here in front of me. I heard about it and just waited, patiently, for it to land on my lap. It’s so good. The winds are so powerful. They make me so CRAZY! […]
Zone took this photo today, sent it to me, and asked the question: “There are pigs in Military Rd opposite Relish, ironically where I am beckoned to drink this evening. What does this mean for us? “ Pigs cruising the pavement in Cape Town City/Stad That reminds me, did you ever read the […]
It’s not really called Hurricane Lionel, but it’s pretty serious anyway. Cape Town is blowing away. This, taken at Caprice. HECTIQUE!
You know that steep road that joins Kloof Road with Kloof Nek Road? Just up from Bacini’s? Ja, that’s the one. Well, anyway, it’s blocked off because a tree committed suicide over the road. I swear. Check it out. Hectrique!The winds experienced today are what we call “crazy” I think that guy standing […]
I’ve never been to the Diemersfontein Wine Farm before and, given that it was the first of it’s kind, I had never before indulged in the Woolworths Wine Festival. And what a treat it was! Positioned next to the town of Wellington and owned by Woolworths co-founders, The Sonnenberg Family, the farm is one of […]
We’ve chatted before about this lovely game the Atlantic Ocean plays from time to time, called “lake-lake.” That’s what it is doing today. It usually comes with an ever-so-thin haze in the sky, causing the ocean to look almost metallic in colour. Camps Bay – todayvery kak Yup, that’s the one. So anyway, […]
It’s been a while since I visited Beta Beach, and quite some time since the mad-man attacked me with an umbrella (pronounced “madmin” for extra annoyance). So Saturday was spent getting back into the groove. Saturday – very kak The prize for making a mockery of the day goes to this intrepid fellow who nailed […]
I took a spin on the scooter down to Clifton 4th beach right now and this is what I found. Seriously, this just happened. You’ll see the ocean is playing a game that we enjoy. It’s called Lake-Lake. Sometimes, when it goes as still as this, we call the game Pond-Pond. God, it’s so kak.
I received the following MMS from loyal 2oceansvibe reader, John S, after he landed in Cape Town from Deben. Nice to see he appreciates the Mother City on killer days like today! Message : “So this is how u rolling in CT today, nice”
Jason risked all and sent this in. It was a risk worth taking. 2008 Hurricane season spawns new product line of Hurricane Shoes ! Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 15 September, 2008 : The 2008 Hurricane season is predicted to be more severe than last year. This month, September, is the peak month of […]
How hammered are you going to get on Friday night? Or are you going to be wise and make the most of the glorious weather I’ve arranged for Saturday? Good luck with keeping satan at bay on Friday night. The smart kids will remember the joys one can have with good Saturday weather. […]
The Muse is native to Plettenberg Bay and is therefore the source of these random Plettenberg Bay posts. Plett always was, and still is a part of our lives in Cape Town, so it works out pretty well. I was recently forwarded these pics taken during last week’s storms. Not a good day for […]
