Catering for kids in Cape Town
Over the last couple of weeks I have been entertaining a friend visiting from out of town with her 3 kids. While it doesn’t happen often, this is not the first time I’ve had to consider kids when deciding what to do. Annalize just posted a comment asking for some ideas on kid friendly places…

Lately I seem to be doing a lot of reviews on venues behind the Lentil Curtain. This last weekend I ate at Cafe Olympia which I have been wanting to try for ages. The reason I haven’t gotten round to eating at Cafe Olympia is not for lack of opportunities or trying, but because they…

Animoto – the end of slideshows
I found this cool site on the web where you can upload photos and it turns them into an awesome, funky video slideshow. I made a few of them and have been very impressed with the results. It’s very easy to use and quick once you get the hang of it. Check out the one…

Michael Bublé tickets
I did warn everyone in the September newsletter that tickets for the Michael Bublé concerts in Kirstenbosch would be selling out shortly, even though the concert is only in December. As usual, I was correct and the tickets are all gone. As one would expect, there are lots of disappointed people out there (not me,…
