I was pretty much absent on the blogging front last week. Roll-call would have come up with silence. I was taking photos though so that I’d be able to report back to you that last week consisted of a wonderful trip to Cape Town. For work, off course. Any trip to Cape Town, even a work one is pleasant because, well, Cape Town. I have proof of this assertion…in the photos below. Take a look…

As the plane came in to land this is what greeted me. As you can see it was breathtaking so much so that I quickly switched on my phone to capture it before landing. How gorgeous is that?

Then this was the view that greeted me when I woke up the next morning.

And on my return to the Airbnb from a yummy food outing this is what I found.

Moon’s reflection on the water tonight. The ocean is a constant source of joy and wonder. I’m glad I managed to capture this reflection with my phone #moonreflection #moononsea #moonreflectiononsea #oceanreflections

And a couple more pics before driving to the airport to catch the plane back home to Jhb.

It was a beautiful and cold day in #capetown today

And this one too.

I’m back in #joburg, #kalkbay was glorious as usual. Traffic was heavy getting to the airport yesterday evening #capetowntraffic – I arrived with an hour to spare after taking a few back routes. The plane was empty so it was good to have the row to myself #travelentry

This cape is the most stately thing and the fairest cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth. – From the journal of Sir Francis Drake, on seeing the Cape for the first time, 1580.
