Love stories from South Africa
1.
2.
3. I kissed the ocean.
Climbed the heights.
Explored the lesser seen.
Experienced the wild.
Met the most wonderful people.
Spent sleepless nights.
Lived a dream.
And fell in love at every sight.
4. Introduction
It was just yesterday. Yet seems so far away. It was exactly what dreams are made
up of. They happen to you. They are surreal. They are wonderful. And then the
worst part happens - you wake up.
But some dreams get engraved in your heart, and some have to be retrieved from
the deepest corners of your mind. And mine? Mine has gripped me so hard in its
tender, gentle, and lingering memories that every passing day makes me wonder -
was I dreaming then, or am I dreaming now? I still can’t figure it out.
Maybe it will take a while before I acclimatize and understand it all. But it’s not
easy to acclimatize any time soon, because my little dream gave me what an
entire lifetime did not - falling in love numerous times.
Presenting ‘Love stories from South Africa.’
5. A shopping hub. Foodie’s paradise. Overlooked by the Table Mountain.
Ignited by the live performance of artists.
Was lucky enough to stay in proximity to such a lively place. And had my share
of fun too while playing the drums with the Marimba artists to make South
Africans dance to my beats.
13. Love Story #2
Lion’s Head
Lion’s Head is a mountain in Cape Town between the Table Mountain and Signal Hill. It
peaks at 669 meters (2,195 feet) above sea level and forms a dramatic backdrop to
the city of Cape Town. It is also a part of the Table Mountain National Park.
As far as history is concerned, in the 17th Century the peak was known as Leeuwen
Kop (Lion’s Head) by the Dutch and Signal Hill was known as Leeuwen Staart
(Lion’s Tail), as the shape resembles a crouching lion.
Watching the sunset from there was surely one of the many highlights of the day.
14. Walking up the Lion’s Head - Hard to keep walking when the view below is such!
15. The tricky sections on the walk to Lion’s Head . Because you don’t grab
your dream just by dreaming about it. You have to earn it!
19. Love Story #3
Hout Bay and Market
What better place to spend a morning and having a breakfast than Bay Market at Hout
Bay. It’s a place where the creative energy and the vibrancy of South Africa come alive
in an old authentic fish factory in a working harbor. Where the hustle bustle of a
boisterous market fills the air. Where local traders exchange banter with customers –
“That’s a bargain, fo sho, medam!”.
The Bay Harbour Market comprises of over 100 stalls, from delicious food to locally
made items and is open on weekends.
Visit the market on Fridays from 5pm to 9pm, Saturdays & Sundays 9:30am to 4pm.
The entire market is indoors so if the wind or rain threatens to keep you from stepping
out, you can find some treats and a great vibe there at the edge of the harbour.
20. Fish on the Rocks at Hout Bay. Africa’s favorite. Now India’s too.
21. Sheer torture to have so many options to eat from at the Bay Market.
Why cant I have 5 extra stomachs?
26. Along the Cape Peninsular Drive from Hout Bay to Noordhoek Beach
27. Love Story #4 Noordhoek Beach
Noordhoek is situated below the Southern Slopes of Chapman’s Peak Drive.
Noordhoek is Cape Town’s rural treasure with a farm atmosphere and famed for its
long white sandy beach, so it is not surprising that Noordhoek is often called Cape
Country at the Beach. It is common to find horses, pigs, cows, hens, ducks, geese and
rabbits roaming around the gardens, leafy lanes and public spaces of Noordhoek. This
is a place where horses are almost more important than cars and the lifestyle of the
residents is tranquil, relaxed and unhurried.
The village of Noordhoek is sandwiched between sea, mountains and a prized
wetlands area. Noordhoek is reached by driving some of the most spectacular roads in
the Western Cape – via Chapman’s Peak Drive or over Ou Kaapse Weg (with the
Silvemine section of Table Mountain National Park at its centre).
28. Beware. Not of the sharks. But of the beauty of Noordhoek
Beach. It can make you fall in love no matter who you are.
29. Horse Riding at Noordhoek Beach. Because morning walks are a thing of the past.
30. I must be dreaming. And please don’t wake me up.
31. Who needs an owner. Nature is everybody’s mother.
33. Love Story #5
Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point
Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point are undoubtedly a nature enthusiast’s paradise.
The Cape of Good Hope is a headland on the Atlantic coast side of South Africa. It is
known for its spectacular scenery. It was originally named the Cape of Storms by
Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Dias in 1488. It was later renamed, by King John
II of Portugal, the Cape of Good Hope because of the great optimism engendered
by the opening of a sea route to India and the East.
And just a little away lies Cape Point – a nature reserve within the Table Mountain
National park; a declared Natural World Heritage Site. It encompasses 7750
hectares of rich and varied flora and fauna; abounding with buck, baboons and
Cape Mountain Zebra as well as over 250 species of birds.
34. Cape of Good Hope. Cape of Wonders. Cape of Dreams.
35. What a way to begin your journey from a point where the world ends.
41. Love Story #6
Kalk Bay
Kalk Bay is one of Cape Town’s trendiest seaside villages and reflects a cosmopolitan
heritage and a long fishing history. There is a bohemian arty vibe, a growing
nightlife, with great theatre and the art, architecture and cuisine are much sought
after. Kalk Bay is also a hub of outdoor action – from sea fishing to angling; one of
the best reefs in Cape Town for surfers and the fascinating Kalk Bay caves for land
and foot adventures.
After enjoying the live music, interesting cocktails and a hearty dinner at ‘Cape to
Cuba’, it was time to head back to the hotel.
