The Mother City

So... I have finally pulled my finger out, dusted off the laptop and started sorting through my 1722 photos from the SA trip. When I say "dusted off", I mean scraped off the 5 cm thick red dust layer that is currently coating everything in my house. I am waging an ongoing and futile battle with builder's dust! Perhaps I should just admit defeat and live in a dusty shambles until the kitchen renovation is complete? Thoughts on a heavy duty duster, please...

But now for some photos of Cape Town....

Hout Bay beach - there were dolphins in the bay when we got there, but I was too slow with my camera!



Chapman's Peak Drive




Victoria & Alfred Waterfront




V & A Waterfront... is that Lego Man sitting somewhat out of place?




Nope... it's Elliott The Crateman, who sits 18 m tall and is built from 4200 empty coca-cola crates- a tribute to recycling from the time of the FIFA World Cup (2010)

  3. What beautiful blue skies and blue water, and that crate man is just too cool for words. I never knew such awesomeness existed. Plus, I like penguins.

    I would love to see penguins in a
    natural habitat.
