Brace Yourself Cape Town

Gosh, 27dinner Cape Town is almost upon us and we haven’t even packed our bags yet. Yes, yes, Victoire and I will be flying down to Cape Town to represent Jozi at the next meeting, and in the process have a bit of a holiday as well. So if you’re keen to meet up while we’re down in the Mother city, drop me a line and we’ll arrange something.

Due to the overwhelming response, Dave mentioned that the venue has been moved to the Cape Town Hotel School (pictured above) in Mouille point. Luckily I hosted a corporate launch function there last October, so I definitely won’t get lost. Obviously I’m not taking chances, so the Garmin Nuvi is coming along in any event.

Just a few notes on the Cape Town Hotel School though. The view is absolutely stunning. I mean where else do you find a car park with a view of the ocean on the one side and a view of Table Mountain on the other? Certainly not in Jozi, that’s for sure.

If your timing is right, you may just spot a whale or two, guarded by research vessels such as the Sardinops, while paddle ski maniacs enthusiasts tear up some waves, under the bright light of the moon. Maybe you’re just wishing that you could sail away into the sunset.

So full steam ahead to Cape Town for what is going to be a whirlwind experience.

Oh and Graham if you’re reading this. Put some of your finest on ice for us, we’re on our way.

PS: The full set of pictures taken at the Cape Town Hotel School in October is up on my Flickr page.
