A walk from Mouille Light house to New Port Deli,Wakame, Wafu and Pepenero

Cafe Neo

Is a seaside cafe with a relaxed vibe Greek/mediterranean food Order your food and drinks at the counter then take a seat on the deck. Views of  the red-and-white painted  lighthouse or the Stadium and Table Mountain on the other side

I like this one for a coffee, or lunch

Cafe Neo is on the corner, right opposite the Light house

This is ofcourse the urban park as seen from my house

Behind me is the sea

My walk started at 4.30 which was just a little early for the usual crowd, running, walking, jogging along the boulevard There is a small pizza place at the left corner of the photo, Cafe Bravo

I have eaten only once there, I am not a pizza lover but its always packed or busy

This is what that stretch of road looks like from Signal Hill side

The Urban park is supposed to be open before the World Cup starts

If you click the image you can just see the stadium peeking out between the buildings

when you walk here its so much nicer then my photos are able to show

Can you see Table Mountain as well ? 

Really the views are stunning

Still walking along this wide sea of grass

Here ...On the left of me is the Atlantic ocean

                                              Now I can see my favourite restaurants

                           The one on the right is a building with 3 of my favourite restaurants
                                  along this part of the boulevard

                                               Newport Deli, Wakame, Wafu all in one building
and Pepenero opposite on  the left
These are my favourites along this stretch of road called  Beach Road  Newport Deli has awesome breakfasts and lunch freshly made on the premises but no alcohol ,its always packed in the weekends and busy on other days Views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Stadium and Mountains


Wakame is the restaurant above Newport Deli , it is Eastern fusion food and I love this one for dinner
for the seaviews, the vibe and the food can be very good
The sunset and people watching are other favourites
It gets very very busy in the weekends and busy every day during holidays and summer
Always book your restaurants if you have a particular one in mind or you will be disappointed


Wafu is a bar at the top I love this one for lunch I like to sit at one of the high tables and watch the world go by and the boats ofcourse and eating delicious sushi with a cold glass of white wine or come at night for dinner or drinks Its very very popular at sunset for drinks the deck outside gets packed with beautiful bodies



Pepenero is an Italien Restaurant read more here

Topless Tours

No topless girls as far as i know but its

The City Sightseeing Bus

Good to get your bearings when you are new in town !

Wafu at the top has fantastic views

This is taken from my house , the tent vllage for the Two Oceans is still being build
                                            Do you recognice the 3 restaurant building ?

I took these last photos this evening

It was cloudy and a "cold" strong wind

It was definitely autumn weather today

The sky started off pretty grey I did not expect to take any photos of a sunset ...

In fact after walking this way for a while I crossed the road to look at the urban park but was almost blown out of my fleece so headed back for the car

when suddenly the sun came out for the last time

and I hastily shot these last 2 for you

70 Days to go to the biggest fight on earth ! See the Green Point updates here !

                                                      The Fritz Sonnenberg road
                                I drive by almost every day and love this road

                            

An update about this area

 The stands will be refurbished and this old Green Point Stadium site

 will be rehabilitated to become the city's new athletics track, after the World Cup

During the World Cup the site will be used as a hospitality area

                               and will look much like a village of white "tents" they use for all the big events
                               like the last photo of this post

What a mess ..

                                
                                                                   Yours truly..having fun !
                                                                    (taken with self timer)

I stopped off at the Lower Buitengracht to take a few shots of the new pedestrian bridge

which is part of the fan walk

Imagine walking over this bridge

to our stunning new Stadium

to the biggest show on earth

in one of the most beautiful places in the world

the exitement palpable all around...

Just 70 days to go !

Back home the sky soon turned a bright red

another stunning sunset in Cape Town

but I was starving and left the camera in the bag

As soon as the tented village for the Argus cycle tour was broken down they started building a brand new one It is for the Two Oceans Marathon a 56 km / 35 mile ultra marathon held annually in Cape Town, South Africa on the Saturday of the Easter weekend. Claimed to be "the world's most beautiful marathon", the race is run against a backdrop of spectacular scenery through the Cape Peninsula.



The race starts in Newlands, and follows a more or less circular route through Muizenberg, Fish Hoek, over Chapman's Peak and Constantia Nek, and eventually finishes at the University of Cape Town campus.

Walked along Bantry Bay, Clifton Had a drink with view of the stadium at The Grand Café & Beach, See photos

Bantry Bay

It was such great weather today and so I brought my camera along my wander along the Atlantic ocean

 and made a point of showing you how the other half lives

Bantry Bay is known to be the most wind free area in Cape Town. Secluded and  protected, this exclusive area enjoys about 290 wind free days per year - a significant fact given Cape Town's windy climate

The foot path along the ocean

You can walk all the way from the V&A Waterfront to Camps Bay,

it is well used in the weekends and very busy every evening,

people exercising, walking, running, jogging, cycling etc

Lions Head towering on the left

Table Mountain and the 12 Apostles Mountain Range hidden in the clouds

+ the 4 beaches of Clifton ahead

Clifton

And all these have a slice of heaven :)

More about Clifton here

I got some sugar white sand between my toes on third beach and

then headed back to Green Point for a late afternoon drink

and landed at

the Grand Café & Beach

which is located at Granger Bay between the Radisson Blu Hotel

 and the  V&A Waterfront.

A once-abandoned warehouse has been transformed into a quirky

restaurant on a man made beach

this is the long pure white bar complete with cherub detail

A big deck with tables for lunch and dinner or Indian day beds to laze around on

and a beach bar

The Grand Cafe , although not nearly as glamarous ...

it reminded me of similar clubs in Spain  

I enjoyed an hour of sipping my drink, watching people

and it got busier while I was there

That is the small man made beach of The Grand Cafe&Beach

I only had one glass of wine (R44 ) but heard that the food is average

 and the place has some teething problems

The views are stunning all around

and you are literally a stone's throw from the stadium

Have you been in Tsitsikamma ?

Then you remember this view I just caught it as the light was fading rapidly

The flowering aloes are everywhere at the moment adding a stunning splash of colour to the landscape
This is the view you get to see while crossing the Tsitsikamma suspension bridge on the left into a deep gorge
I am using a 3G "wireless" internet connection since I am often in the bush or no where near internet and last night I spend an hour trying to upload these 3 photos but eventually had to give up so excuse me if I cant reply to your comments as soon as I wish I do apreciate it so much when you take the time to leave a comment
