Scandal at ferry to Robben Island

Robben Island, the World Heritage place, came in the last few years, regularly in the news because of the poor services of the ferries and because non-compliance with timetables.

The contract of the last harbor master was terminated in December 2010, a new but not set. Appealed against the dismissal of the appeal concerned. During the hearing are some in recent years came to light, the straying of a ferry in thick fog off Cape Town or the collision with another rock, which almost had a fall in the result. Another time, a ferry captain from a drunken fall out.

According to a spokesperson from seals Island, the fact that there is now no longer harbor master, no impact on passenger safety. All requirements of the monitoring authorities are strictly followed.

East African Bazaar

The East African Bazaar in the Long Market Street is perfect for a snack or lunch because you can easily get a minibus for example from Sea Point to the city to Long Street which is just a few meters away from the Bazaar.
There you will find everything which the oriental cuisine can offer and everything at reasonable prices. Indian, Turkish or Arabic. For example, you get a chicken kebab with salad and french fries for 30Rand and the portions are really sufficient.
Hope to see you at the next lunch break ??;-)

CHRISTMAS EVE IN CAPE TOWN IT DOESN’T GET BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!

Christmas Eve is one of the most magical of nights this festive season. Soft multi coloured light coming from Christmas trees decorated in streams of tinsel, orbs of silver and gold, candy canes, tiny snowmen and topped with stars and angels.

The spirit of Christmas is never felt as keenly as it is on Christmas Eve. It easily feels as if a Christmas miracle is waiting just around the corner and that the sound of sleigh bells can barely be made out in the distance. It’s a time for Christmas carols, Christmas cheer and, of course, Christmas dinner.

Take the time to enjoy this most magical of evenings with an intimate and exclusive experience. Especially for couples who want to treat themselves to an elegant, more formal occasion.

Most of Cape Town’s hotels set up wonderful Christmas Eve dinners or Christmas Day lunches and dinners for their guests featuring traditional fare with all the trimmings, gorgeous decorations and usually a live band and lots of bubbly.
