I visited the Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point in Africa, for the first time. But I was lazy and missed a lot of the attractions.

I've eaten a couple of meals at Syrian Rose, a new restaurant in Fordsburg. It's one of the best places in the city to eat outside.

I visited Arniston for two days and was blown away by the town's history, culture, and astonishing beauty.

I did a lot of wine tasting at the Noble Vice fest in Stellenbosch. I tried to do it intelligently...Did I succeed?

Thorsten and I journeyed to Fourways for dinner at Roasty's Roadhouse, which opened about a year ago. Roasty's was delightful.

I hosted a jacaranda walk through Rosebank, together with the Johannesburg in Your Pocket Guide and the Redisson Red Hotel.

Thorsten and I bought bagels from Bird's Bagels in Blairgowrie for breakfast on Sunday. The bagels were fantastic.

I took a graffiti walk through Joburg, sponsored by the Goethe Institute. It was great to look at street art for the first time in a while.

I spent the night at the Donkey Dairy in Magaliesburg with a delightful herd of blue-eyed donkeys and miniature goats.

I recently moved from Melville to Brixton, which sounds like it's not really a big deal but actually it is.

Last week I spent the night at Farmhouse@58, a chic accommodation spot just outside Joburg in the Cradle of Humankind.

I took a walk around Diepkloof, Soweto, last Sunday afternoon and shot a few pictures of the people and places we saw.
