An empty ferris wheel

You'll find this ferris wheel at High Street Shopping Village in Bellville. We stop here every now and again for lunch from our favourite baguette bar, Chez Pierrot. The owner, originally from France, makes the best baguettes ever, with home-made mayonnaise and all. Our favourite is a toasted round white baguette with bacon, cheese, avocado, and sometimes a dash of chilli - absolutely awesome.

Traffic light art

It's difficult to see from the cropped photograph that the tin-shack houses depicted in the foreground of this 430x140x16mm chipboard painting have a 3D appearance. They're actually made from discarded aluminium soda cans!

We bought this piece of art today for R100 (approximately 10 Euros); the artist was selling his work at traffic lights on the Newlands part of the M3, at the foot of Table Mountain. Framed it'll look absolutely stunning.

Shopping in the rain

Another rainy day in Cape Town...

I was caught unawares by today's heavy rain, but these shoppers in Claremont seemed pretty prepared, all dressed up in their raincoats.

I hope the shoes at the stall on the left didn't get damaged during the downpour.
