If you take a walk to the quarry behind the High Cape estate in Vredehoek, you will find a few interesting drawings.

Living in Cape Town it’s impossible not to notice the constant noise of vuvuzela’s in Long Street and the cars driving by decorated with mirror socks and flags.

There is definitely a vibe in Cape Town at the moment and it’s World Cup Fever.

Tell your friends… there are some great deals this year!

On the weekend I joined a group of friends to climb Lions Head, which I hadn’t done for about a year and a half.

It’s such a quick an easy hike and only minutes away from Cape Town’s CBD.

I recently took this photo from my balcony in Cape Town when the clouds had this weird hold on the city.

I was walking around Cape Town and spotted a bit of chalk graffiti on a building and thought it was pretty cool. I then spotted the same thing on the pavement and then saw it all over the place.
It was a clever little marketing campaign by Puma.

The use of imagery allowed for their message to be translated by almost anyone into their own language and gives the vibe that the World Cup is near.

I recently came across some vantage points for taking photos of the new Cape Town Stadium and these came out quite nicely.

I attended the J&B Met in Cape Town last Saturday and it truly was an amazing day with great weather, huge horses and loads of colourful and beautiful women.

Whenever there’s a theme involved you see people pushing the envelope – like the girls with the skirts that were more like belts, which resulted in a mexican wave emulation when every mans head turned violently as they walked by.

All in all it was a great day chilling in the J&B Jet Lounge with friends, champagne and suits!

More J&B Met photos can be found at the Cape Town website.

I’ve never bet on a horse before, so will see which trusty steed stands out. If I could choose any horse to bet on… it would be this one – because it’s so AMAZING!

Look out for me tomorrow and I’ll buy you a drink if you give me a high five!

This horse is amazing!
