Cape Town

This blog is dedicated to Cape Town. 


The first time I came to Cape Town was when I was very young. I don't remember much so I'm skipping that part...

The first real memory and first time (second) I visited Cape Town was in 2006 at age 18 when the company I worked for flew the Head Office staff down to Cape Town for a week of team building in Paternoster. I was amazed by Cape Town's beauty as I drove from the airport all the way to Paternoster. I sat in the back seat memorising every scene along the way. A couple of months later, I resigned and went overseas to Manchester and London for 8 months. During the 8 months, I downloaded full-colour, A4-sized photographs of Table Mountain and Cape Town and secretly used the companies' printer and laminating machine to print and laminate it. On my return my mother was sent on a two year project from JHB to Cape Town and naturally I decided to join her in Cape Town!

I landed in Cape Town on June 10, 2007...and I still love waking up every morning, getting in my car and driving around using Table Mountain as my GPS! The places are spectacular and I feel lucky to be part of the Cape Town population!

I have taken over 18 500 pictures since being in Cape Town and the photo's below highlight some of my memories since 2007 --->

  2. Mich, it is a beautiful ode to Cape Town, as a non Kaapie. And I think that your pictures add to the story's brilliance.
