Sacromento Coffee Shop





I'm in PE with the family for the annual holidays and today we went to Schoenmakerskop just outside of town. For me it is a bit of a love hate relationship because there is so little to do out there and not much have changed in 30 years the coffee shop there is an exception. What was once an unattractive white building has been completely transformed. (If you order the scones make sure they don't toss them in the microwave.) The owner of this charming coffee shop has created and wonderful walk at the back. I really enjoyed her creativity!! Although it is not sign posted, you should have little trouble finding it as Schoennies is very small. The Sacramento Trail has had a lot of crime recently and for the older folk this walk is ideal!! No hills, very light walking.

It is all about the presentation.

St James & Kalk Bay

These are my favourite pictures of Kalk Bay. I love Cape Town. I love taking photos of places in Cape Town and I have more to upload. I love discovering less common views of the city. I have a spot in Muizenburg I missed. Will try to get there before I leave for PE. :-)












I took a zig zag walk through St James to Kalk Bay on a splendid summer's day...and this is what I saw. Making the most of my last days in Cape Town and the little towns along the peninsular are not to be missed. Make sure you get to Simon's Town and Kommetjie if you are visiting Cape Town.




Fairy Tale Garden

Beautiful and unusual houses. I would love to go inside this one!!

Blue boats in the habour. Blue seems to be the theme colour there. No wonder I like it :-)


Shark museum!




Jacob's Ladder. Make sure you take a walk up here to Boye's Drive!!

Cape Town - Bo-Kaap

Entrance to the small cemetery on top of Signal Hill. Behind it is the habour.












Last month I had the opportunity to show my brother and his girlfriend around Cape Town and to go to some spots that I don't normally get to. I love this city and think that it presents many photo opportunities. One day I'm going to come back with a really fancy camera and just take pictures. There are still so many places that I have not yet explored that it hurts to leave but I will love where I'm going to.
