After nearly 24 hours of traveling we have arrived in Cape Town. We are staying in de Waterkant also known as The Cape Quarter.
The houses are all painted in beautiful chalky bright colours and the smell in the air alternates between freshly roasted coffee and ground roasted spices. My idea of heaven.
This is the apartment we are staying in. I could seriously live like this.
I am a bit of a soup freak at the moment. They are quick, easy, cheap and good for you. Lunch doesn’t have to mean a sandwich especially if you are a bit of a delicate flower like The Washer Up. Bread is not his friend, it gives him all sorts of grief that I […]

What are your plans for Cape Town and SA? Let me know if we can do something together. I am at ELLE and we’re pretty plugged in if you need pointing in the right and not done to death direction. Would also like to consider something for the ELLE blog.
You look like you have already settled in with your boots and bag in the pic ;0)
Looks lovely, would love to be there, enjoy yourselves
I’m so excited for you and I love the design in that apartment, too 🙂
Looks amazing – love the colours!
Welcome to Cape Town, enjoy your stay.
Beautiful! Have fun. Rufus told me to say he already misses you.
A hearty welcome to Cape Town!Love your choice of area you’re staying in.
