Zonnebloem Graffiti

This stunning piece is the face of Ons Plek, (http://www.onsplek.org.za/?page_id=701)that aids girls that have a hard life and enables them to get a better future. They opened their doors in 1988 and is the only residencial child and youth care centre in Cape Town.

The staff are really friendly and the work they do so inspiring.

Graffiti under the bridge

There are some great pieces of street art around the world. Capturing this piece under the bridge by Buitenkant Street in Cape Town is mearly one of many in this beautiful city.

Summer nails

Summer colour for the hands all I need is a cocktail in my hand. Well it's been lunch...

Silver stars: Atkinson's Antique's

Stepping out first thing this morning to go acquire a set of jewellery I spotted on a visit to Long Street on Saturday.

The little place I got them is Atkinson's Antiques, 021 4243726, 213/215 Long Street, Cape Town.

Waterfront

This is the venue area I have visited most while in Cape Town, for the most part it is the most easily assessable shopping with parking; it is clean, safe and a great experience.  Every time get there I feel like I am cheating my Cape Town by going to this tourist pit, but yesterday I got it. It's a blazing Saturday,  Capetonian's and tourists are out in droves. We got our under roof parking and head in. It's the simplest task to get every thing you need from clothes to a barber shop(http://www.englishshavingshop.com/).

Outside there is live music being performed and just a wonderful chilled atmosphere. You see we were not here to shop but to take in the day. Which consisted of a walk along the harbour and yacht and people watching.

 The area offer's some great craft in the Craft market and just above the parking lot next to the center you have a scratch patch with more that enough crystals to choose from. There are boat cruises and stunning sculptures made by local artists. Yes a tourists heaven but even for locals a good way to spend a few hours.

Charly's Bakery

In the heart of the Fringe in Cape Town is a little bakery that has the most magical treats. You'll know the building from it's bright exterior as seen in the images below.(www.charlysbakery.co.za/)

 Having tasted them for my self I know first hand how delectable the pies are. The spinach and feta as well as the roast veg are delicious. I prefer them cold and the later has mostly sweet potato and butternut with cinnamon so has a sweet taste

.

I have some informants that tell me that the cookie monster cupcakes are to die for but I'm yet to indulge. These cakes are all so well presented and fun that they will make indulgent presents for any occasion.
