One of my personal favourites, Cavalcade Road is the one you’re looking for. I too used to take random shots at the roads leading down from Sea Point’s High Level Road, in the hope that I would end up near to Giovanni’s and that part of Somerset Road (Vida, Miss K etc.) area. But time and time again I ended up at the arse end of the strip, with a very weathered (and very male) looking whore staring at me, asking if I wanted a good time. No thanks, I’m just looking for a Vida at the moment. Ta.

Enter Cavalcade Road – the missing link.

Cavalcade Road
The one you’ve been looking for..

To fill in those of you who are still in the dark, High Level Road is what Strand Street turns into if you keep on going up to the top. As you go over the top, you can either hang a left onto Ocean View Drive or carry on straight (as the road changes name from Strand Street into High Level Road).

So if you’re coming from town side (Strand Street), Cavalcade Road will be on your right. If you’re coming from Fresnaye, carry on straight over GlenGariff Road and turn left further on into our new friend, Cavalcade Road.

The landmark I usually use is the big palm tree on the corner. Perhaps I should elaborate?

Stop, elaborate and listen

The big palm tree is very useful and, just so you know, it is at 62 High Level Road. There is also a red post box on the opposite corner to guide you. That’s if Michelle hasn’t flattened it that week.

As you come down Calvalcade, you will also be able to take note of the progress on the Green Point Stadium directly in front of you.

Let’s have a look at that..

Stunning

The road bends to the right. Take the bend and continue straight down.

The road will narrow, as you pass residential apartments on your left. Donny Everitt lives in this area so you should keep your wits about you.

Check where you come out.

Do you recognise the intersection?

Not?

Let’s try another angle..

The connection to Somerset Road..

That’s RIGHT! You come out right next to the pharmacy!

Hang a left for Giovanni’s, or a right for Miss K and Vida e!

Enjoy it – I trust your life will be ever so slightly better now.
