The Seafood Blues of Cape Town

by on April 16, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine

After the Camps Bay cocktail and then watching the  Atlantic Ocean sunset, I walked back down the oceanfront street to return to Blues for dinner. The place recommended by the hotel concierge, provided a clean, open air setting, a vibe for great seafood. The open kitchen provided full view to us watch the chef prepare […]

Dropped off  at Victoria and Alfred’s Waterfront in Cape Town, we had 90 minutes for lunch.  Our guide gave recommendations from the fast and cheap (this meal was not included as part of the tour) to the elegant and elaborate. We selected the latter, and I am glad we did. Four of us left the […]

I arrived in Camps Bay, the glitzy oceanfront neighborhood of Cape Town a few hours early. And after finding the restaurant slated for dinner, I decided to walk along the seashore and pass time.

In a country where a $50,000,000,000,000 dollar bill might get you $1 USD from a tourist (only for a souvenir, the currency is worthless) and unemployment reaching 90% in some areas, the future might seem bleak.

Sunset Sunday – The Mighty Zambezi, Zimbabwe-Zambia

Sunset Sunday – The Mighty Zambezi, Zimbabwe-Zambia

by on August 29, 2010 in Destination, Sunset Sunday

In description, few people or places receive the word Mighty with regularity. When describing rivers I only knew one before my trip to Africa, the mighty Mississippi. But as an alliteration fan myself with my writing it seemed to make sense. But when African’s described the rivers of Africa, not once did the guides or […]

A Visit to Cape Town’s District 6 Museum

A Visit to Cape Town’s District 6 Museum

Cape Town, South Africa serves as an initial entry point for many travelers to Africa.  But some argue it’s not “True Africa,” Ok, then I ask, is New York true America?  The answer in both cases: Yes. America as a nation cherishes variety and today so does South Africa. And both cities serve as a […]
