After visiting Origins and really enjoying the vibe (and coffee I might add), the next Coffee Date is this Wednesday at Voila! at the new Cape Quarter.
Voila! Cape Quarter, Greenpoint
French cuisine. Hope they make a good cup of coffee!
If you have any suggestions of other coffee hot spots, please let me know!
What would you do if someone anonymous donor gave you R1 million to do with as you please? Would you quit your job, buy stuff, invest it? Would you retire at 25?
I’ll tell you what I’d do. I’d take 6 months (ok, maybe 3 months) off and travel the world to experience as much as I possibly can in that time. I’d then come back to exactly where I live and carry on as if I haven’t been away for 1 day. Obviously the money left over will help whatever ideas I want to pursue, but the point of my post is I wouldn’t drastically change where I am and what I’m currently doing. I’m having that much fun.
You?
After stumbling across the I love coffee blog last week, I became inspired. Inspired to go around Cape Town and try as many coffee shops as possible in the quest to find the perfect cup enjoy some really good coffee.
So, every Wednesday at 4:30pm, I’ll be venturing out to sit down and enjoy a good cup of coffee at one of the many coffee spots in Cape Town. If you have 30 minutes to kill and would like to join me, I’ll pay. (Only the 1st person to arrive, sorry!) If not, no worries. I’ll bring my Macbook along anyway and catch up on some overdue blogging while sipping back on a good cup of the finest coffee Cape Town has to offer.
Origin Roasting, 28 Hudson Street, De Waterkant.
Quite a fitting place to start Wednesday Coffee Dates.
Deluxe Coffee Works, 25 Church Street, City Center.
I think they have only recently opened, so I’m well keen to try them out.
Hope to see you there!
The world’s largest ocean liner, the RMS Queen Mary 2 docked in Cape Town for a night last week and I was lucky enough to snap a few pics. It wasn’t easy trying to find a decent vantage point as you weren’t allowed anywhere near the boat. I took the night shots from the N2 bridge as you leave Cape Town. The day shots were a little more tricky. I eventually paid a taxi driver R50 to drive me past security as a passenger. Although the best spot would of been to take the pics from across the dock, these will have to do! (Best viewed in their full glory on Flickr. As an example, click here to see the pic below in full)
Just some interesting stats on the cruise liner. Via Wikipedia:
The Queen Mary 2 has:
It’s not the largest ship on the seas, with the MS Oasis of the Seas currently holding those honours.
More pics after the jump.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that we hav packed up our house in Somerset West and are now living in Cape Town!
We have moved to a 2 bedroom place up in High Cape, which overlooks the CBD. We still have a few boxes to unpack, still don’t have proper DStv and I’m waiting patiently for Telkom to install a telephone and ADSL. So no HD sport or ADSL. I’m getting serious withdrawal symptoms.
Once we have settled in, I’ll take a few pics of the place as well as the amazing view and post them here.
