A Beautiful Day for a Trip Up Table Mountain (Bernadette Hubbart) 8am found me rolling out of bed groaning...I couldn’t believe it! Up so early on a Saturday and not for a hike either, but for the far more relaxed route up Table Mountain, by cable car.
Cape Point: A minimalist beauty (Chris Parsons) Cape Point has become an icon of the Cape, the rocky outcrop that people will point to as the land’s defining characteristic. Who doesn’t recognise that classic picture of the spiky cliffs that make up the foreboding exclamation point of our country? Tourists and locals alike flock from a far to get an unrivaled view of the ocean and mountains from the top, and who can blame them?
Setting sail from the V & A Waterfront (Janine Nel) I was particularly looking forward to this Big 6 destination simply because I have always enjoyed trips to the Waterfront and I love going on boat cruises! We were going on two boat cruises and so my excitement was limitless. My boyfriend and two of my best friends were also looking forward to spending the day at the Waterfront; my boyfriend in particular as he has never been to the Two Oceans Aquarium. On the other hand my friends were excited about doing the Big Wheel of Excellence for the first time. We planned our whole day to ensure that we did everything at the right time with enough time allocated for all the activities on our 'to-do-list'.
Freedom isn’t Free (Bernadette Hubbart) The weekend started with an unexpected visit. My brother who lives in Johannesburg was on his way to Vredenberg, and he was in town just in time to catch a breakfast with me. After he arrived my friends started filtering in, Min, Arran and finally Claire.
Kirstenbosch Kuier with aKING (Janine Nel) As you all know by now, I am actually a born Pretoria-girl but I already feel like a true Capetonian at heart, although I have never been to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens before so I was super excited to see the gardens as well as see aKING perform live. I have heard about the beauty of the gardens before and how much people like to have picnics there with their friends, so I was eager to experience it for myself!
