03/03: On the grass banks of the Blue Peter Hotel, Blouberg, Cape Town, an icecold beer
A frosty Castle on the grass banks of the Blue Peter Hotel at Blouberg Strand,watching the sun set behind Robben Island, life does not get any better than this!
The most awesome view of Table Mountain , the salty smell of the sea just meters away is a local experience that we Capetonians take all too often for granted.
The new developments at Big Bay, which I find really too cheap for my liking,includes a large shopping mall and for some reason this has become a tourist attraction.
To me it is a pointless exercise to shop at the beach front. There is something weird about being inside a shopping mall at the best beach in Cape Town. Sure people can now sit at little tables and chairs and drink their cocktails while pretending that they are interacting with nature.
What happened to getting home after a long day at work, packing a picnic and heading off with family and dogs in tow, enjoying the wide open space of the white sandy beach, the coolness of the breeze of the cold Atlantic and shedding all the stress and strain of making yet another buck.
