Since last week was David's first week back at work, we had to make the weekend a stellar one. It stared out at Hudson's Burger Joint on Kloof Street. TOP NOTCH! I had a mouth watering vegetarian burger with a chickpea and lentil patty topped with goats cheese and caramelized onion. Wow, just wow. Everyone else was ecstatic with their real burgers, too. We were with a huge group and were easily accommodated, and the whole place had a really nice vibe. Plus it was totally affordable. Definitely recommend it. Later, we hit a few bars on Long Street but retired pretty early because we had big plans for the next day...
A year ago, if you would have told me that I'd be camping on a beach in Africa with four German guys, I probably would have been creeped out. However, that's exactly what I did last weekend. The boys have some childhood friends visiting, so we packed up the surfmobile and headed up the west coast in search of waves. We hit Elands Bay the first day, which is a super long, pretty well known left break; the boys got a few good ones while I snapped some pictures and played with some puppies on shore. A couple kilometers down the road, we found a perfectly sheltered spot to roll out our sleeping bags between some dunes where we had a braai, watched a watercolor sunset and fell asleep beneath the stars. Ideal.
The next day brought more surfing, but none was very successful. So we took the show on home and decided to get a good rest before hitting Camps Bay for a night of mayhem. Goldfish, a sick jazzy/electro group that is definitely one of South Africa's most popular acts, plays a show every Sunday night of the summer for around 15$. They are unreal! So we put on our dancin shoes and boogied away. The night was warm and breezy and Camps Bay is the Malibu of Cape Town, so it felt like a California summer night and all was right in the world.
Live cheerfully,
KG
