Having a huge birthday dinner here tonight. Cannot wait. I enjoy finding some amazing "old school" venues for parties. such as the Top of the Ritz, Elands Bay , La Perla, Warmwaterberg Spa, Ronnies Sex Shop , Rockhaven Farmhouse, Pons Noodle Bar and Diaz Tavern. The shortlist for this year was "The Wooden Shoe" (just missed the boat, they were closed for renovations, but did respond to a message I left on their answering machine, which is rare nowadays) "The Buzzby Grill" and "Rhodes Memorial Restaurant" (they need a large number of confirmed bookings to open at night). This was taken with my phone during our scout on Monday night. The image has been comp’d a bit because of the crap quality of my Nokia but the chairs are def under this marvelous wooden window, and yes, that’s the owner there, who’s been running the restaurant for over 25 years. Hopefully I will find the time to take some snaps with a proper camera tonight.. No pressure…!
Bar Guide: Simple, traditional greek food the way it should be served, with a chat and a smile. This is by no means a 5 star establishment but that’s what makes it all the more special. Love it.

Fun Western Cape Fact: The Cape of Good Hope used to be called the Cape of Storms – The waves and storms caused the explorer Bartholomeu Dias to name the peninsula ‘Cape of Storms’ in 1488. Later the Portuguese king changed the name to ‘Cape of Good Hope’ to make clear to other colonial powers that as from this point they were close to the sea route to India.
