Cape Town is arguably one of the best cities in the world! Yes, maybe we are slightly biased, but hey, if you don't believe us, come see for yourself. It has just the right mix of outdoor living, nightlife, restaurants, an eclectic mix of people, and great weather!
Being summer still, we went for a short walk along the False Bay coast to one of our most favorite towns - Kalk Bay. There's a pleasant little walk along the coast, from Muizenberg to Kalk Bay, probably not more than a mile long(1.4km). It is also the route for the local train, so we hopped on at our station, Wittebome, hopped off at Muizenberg station and walked to Kalk Bay. Muizenberg is renowned for its awesome surfing conditions, and its sharks...
Kalk Bay has cute little shops and eateries. From French artisan bakeries - with yummy baguettes - to antique furniture shops that are way overpriced... An all time favorite of ours is Olympia Cafe - Becs's first employer when she moved to Cape Town. The job lasted all of six weeks, then they dropped her like a hot potato. Too bad for them. But ultimately the best for Becs, since her job tutoring kids with autism arrived directly afterwards. (Ali wants me to say this is my life, but really- I just love it, it's not my WHOLE life!)
The False Bay coast is dotted with built tidal pools and Kalk Bay happens to be home to one of the best tidal pools, our favorite by far! Ali likes it best early morning and Becs late afternoon & only when it's warm. During summer, the beaches and pools are packed with people. And maybe more sharks in the waters also...
So, if you are from North America, and you would like to see Kalk Bay in all its splendor, we would be happy to host you here. But hurry, we might not be in Cape Town for long anymore...
Below are some of the pics from our walk. Enjoy!

Oh, we had to include the newest addition to our home - a bookcase that Ali and his dad made!
A small nursery on the main road.
Looking gorgeous!
