Guests: Andy and Matt - visitors from the UK

To find us take the N1 into Cape Town. At the traffic lights at the CTICC continue straight. Drive on till you get to third traffic intersection where you will turn left into Strand Street (landmark is the old NG Kerk). Once in Strand Street, cross the first set of traffic lights (Bree) and then the second (Loop) at the third, turn right into Long Street – it’s a one way. The building at the corner of the first intersection you will drive to is The Grand Daddy. Park. Come inside and take the vintage elevator to the rooftop Airstream Trailer Park where we will clip your tickets and welcome you to a night at the movies. Movie: Double Indemnity
R50 buys you entrance to the movie, a drink of your choice (wine, beer, cider or a soft drink), popcorn, ice cream & some sweets / candy floss. A great evening out – classic movies (not mainstream movies so be warned you need to leave your mind open to the classic style of movie) at an outdoor cinema!
A nice touch was a blanket on each seat – and we sure needed it as the wind was howling.
Definitely recommended and very good value for money. We met Andy and Matt who were visiting down from the UK. They also showed us their "pad" trailer that they were staying in for the two nights. Welcome to Cape Town, we hope you enjoyed out beautiful city and visit soon. See pics at the top of them. Evening enjoyed by all.Is it an Eskimo - no it is Linda:-)The Sweets

MYOGA RESTUARANT
Tucked away in leafy Newlands, in the Vineyard Hotel, is Myoga Restuarant and KKC visited for the recently launched High Tea. The setting is superb, as we were seated on the terrace over looking the mountains and lush gardens.
Our waiter Ray (Sugar Ray) was very attentive to his table of ladies and did his best, but however, couldn't contain his mirth when Janine enquired about the Pikkies (Piejies). The menu (which changes daily) was extensive and we could choose 2 savoury, 2 sweet together with a scone and choice of beverage for R75. The conversation and the food were decadent. Our laughter lit up the otherwise very quiet and peaceful restuarant. Very interesting topics added to the day. Time to be remembered. Wedding was taking place in the lush gardens and even the very gorgeous looking minister came over. The ladies had to put their tongues back in their mouths. I (Kerry, we,)thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and will definitely be going back for dinner. Who's joining?? Ray our waiter ;-)
