Cape Town in January!

January 28th, 2008 by Rick Disco

So after a long holiday of arbing around in Pretoria and hanging out with everyone that didn’t go away I felt it was time for me to get away for a bit…

Destination: Cape Town!

Jason picked me up from the airport and after dropping my stuff off at his place, the debauchery began! Cape Town is filled with far too many places where one can drink for next to nothing and R13 for TWO Marzen Gold draughts at Starlight Diner seemed a great place to kick off my stay! My 10 days in the city were mad… hardly sleeping and partying hard! I got to dance to a bunch of awesome DJ’s, watched Sweat.X, The Real Estate Agents, Max Normal.TV, Valkyrie Fighter and go to some super rad clubs.

Photos, more stories and thanks after the jump!

I also got to hang out with my little cousins as well as my aunt and uncle at Kirstenbosch!

One one fateful evening my sister and I decided to go and watch the sun go down on the top of table mountain. Great idea I thought, Eskom didn’t. Soon after our cable car had started its journey up to the top of the mountain, the power was cut causing us to be stranded in the cars, well after the power was restored, due to some technical fault on the pulleys. Three and a half hours later we were lowered out of the bottom of the car to the ground below. What a waste of time!

Thanks to complimentary tickets from the cable care company, I tried to make it up to the top twice more… once the wind stopped us from going up, but finally Don and I managed to make it to the top. Damn it’s pretty up there!

Thanks to all you kids that helped me out with rides and places to stay, you rock!

Till next time,
