Besides improving your life and making you a better person, the iPhone also has some of the best weather reports the world has ever seen. I use the “WeatherPro” app on mine, which I turned on very recently. That’s when I realised you are about to enter the most amazing seven days EVER! Yet another […]
Please, dear God, do not see this as the start of a trend. We do NOT post lost dog ads on 2oceansvibe. But I just thought the rareness of receiving a lost dog ad in my inbox would be enough reason for this “one-off.” It’s very “niche,” don’t you think? And I am SO niche […]
Most Capetonians will know all about the radically powerful wind that was blowing on Sunday. Whilst the Safe House stood strong and came out the other side unscathed, the same can not be said for Wembley Square – the Faircape development in Gardens. Roof sheeting on the road from Wembley Square’s roof (left) The roof […]
Some of you may not have received the memo regarding Monday. We call it the weather report and it was showing a reading of “stupid” for the whole day. It started off like this: And ended like this: With all sorts happening in between. To check out the shots from the day, check out the […]
Welcome to this week’s 2oceansvibe Show, brought to you by NoMU – eat. drink. live. And WHAT an occasion it is! Who would have thought that Helen Zille would accept the offer of being a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl? My goodness, what a surprise! Although, in all fairness, the allure of joining an exclusive club which […]
I did the right thing and got the new iPhone 3Gs from www.digicape.co.za. Look I’ll be honest, it’s fucking amazing. Then, do you know what I did with it this morning? I’ll tell you what I did with it this morning.. I used this beast of a phone and I shot a video of the […]
It should be noted that yesterday I had not only my first run of Summer, but also my first swim! In the ocean, that is. It was most refreshing. I swam to Robben Island and back. Why lie? So anyway, summer is well and truly here and I’ve already lost count of how many summer […]
Not sure if you know, but we had a really tough day yesterday.. Camps Bay’s exclusive “Bali Bay” Camps Bay beach yesterday – fine! I spotted the new Audi A5 convertible cruising around Oooooh! I’ll be honest – I’m tempted.. I think I might pay a visit to Audi Centre Cape Town! Night night.. […]
I’ve had a stunning Summer’s day today. Popped into Yacht Squadron at the Waterfront (we are now calling this the “backfire” – a new word, by G-Man) to get my current Sebago shoes size as Mother Dearest is currently in the States and insists on buying me a pair. I don’t have a problem with […]
The fact that capetowntrafficcam.co.za gives you live webcam footage of the traffic situation on Cape Town’s roads, is one thing – but there is surely nothing wrong with taking in the sites while you’re doing it? Check out these STUNNING pics spotted on the site this morning. Milnerton region Camps Bay beach Nothing […]
It is tradition here at 2oceansvibe to “call it” when it feels right for us (for you). I remember back in 2007, we called it on September 17. Well it looks like it’s 11 days later this year. Don’t know why – probably a combination of El Nino, global warming and Michael Jackson’s death. Quietly […]
So a bunch of guys and girls finally had enough and got together to prove that Telkom’s Telkom “1Mb/s ADSL” lines are so low that a homing pigeon could probably deliver the data faster. So they stapled a 4Gb memory card to the pigeon’s leg and sent the same size file via Telkom Internet over […]
Answer : very cool! With a jet-pack like that attached to his back, one would hope the owner got some pet insurance for this hound? Don’t want that thing flying into walls and stuff. [thanks nikki]
A buddy of mine is a partner at the Simbavati River Lodge , which is situated in the northern sector of the Timbavati Nature Reserve. He sent me an excited email yesterday with a link to a Youtube video. It was a recently taken clip of an elephant giving birth during a tourist game drive. […]
There are conflicting weather reports out there, including the one right here on 2oceansvibe. Believe what you want – personally, I take whatever shows the highest temperatures. That’s just how I roll – extremeness at all times. I found this on my iPhone using a stunning piece of software called WeatherPro. 27 degrees on […]
If everybody had an ocean Across the U.S.A. Then everybody’d be surfin’ Like Californ-i-a You’d seem ’em wearing their baggies Huarachi sandals too A bushy bushy blonde hairdo Surfin’ U.S.A. You’d catch ’em surfin’ at Del Mar (Inside outside U.S.A.) Ventura County line (Inside outside U.S.A.) Santa Cruz and Trestles (Inside outside U.S.A.) Australia’s Narrabeen […]
Day 4 on my return home to Cape Town and I’m more than pleased with the vibe being tossed around by my ex, Mother Nature. Let me take you through some pics taken at The Safe House as I found my way through the day. That is the moon going down at around 06h30 […]
I shouldn’t really be talking about this, as I write from a hammock, somewhere in the Cote d’Azur. But I think it shows my compassion and love for you, given that a lot of you are reading this from the rainy plains of Cape Town. Now I trust we are embracing the change of season? […]
A frothy phenomenon unique to Cape Town’s Sea Point Promenade, are the lager-like foam blowholes; the result of the pressure from the ocean waves blasting through a series of storm water vents positioned on the lawns. A stunning visual treat, slowly becoming more of a drawcard for the tourists flocking to these shores. Photo […]
Whilst it may not contain as much symbolism as, say, the US army pulling down the statue of Saddam Hussein, I think this might be a silent victory for a number of people who work and frequent the area surrounding Long Kloof Studios , Kloof Street, Cape Town. This weekend’s storm was so big and […]
I went for a little walk along Camps Bay beach last Sunday, when the mist was just beginning to get up to it’s tricks. We took in the reverse view from the rocks at the end. I liked what I saw and noticed that the Atlantic Ocean was playing another classic game of “lake-lake.” I’ve […]
Last night brought along a killer sunset which rounded up the weekend weather quite nicely. Those of you who caught last week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girls Show would have known about that awesome weekend weather that we had. God, it was good! Last night’s sunset (A bit of saturation never hurt anyone..) It was […]
Developed from/into the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. As told by Peter Walsh to The Roofer , to me. This may well be the best joke of your life. A Giant Panda A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. After he finishes […]
This incredible shot was sent in today by Mark C, showing the view of Cape Town from the Tygerberg region (home to De Grendel wines). Quite something! An ocean of cloud God only knows what is going on under that blanket!
I remember when my all time favourite Caprice waitress, Justine, first described the Dreamy Burger to me. It was something to do with a slab of cheese on top of the meat, and then she began to describe how the hot mushroom sauce is then poured over that slab of cheese, melting it in the […]
Oh, and I thought these pages were just about sea, sun, champagne, fast cars, yachts and beautiful people? You’re so very wrong, my friend! It’s ALSO about adorable little animals. Like these two gorgeous little meerkats – taken in London last month. Too adorable for words! See? There’s something for everyone! Cheer up.
Ok, the whole “swine flu” topic is on everyone’s lips (good one) and I think it’s reaching a point where we need to be more educated on the topic. Let’s get through that, then we’ll chat about these recent local cases. A friend of mine, Wilfred Ikipedia, filled me in on the vibe. check it […]
Quick thinking. Good. Pass. [thanks nick] BREAKING NEWS : Britain orders 32 million Swine flu face masks. CLICK HERE.
Wow, I certainly hope that this doesn’t effect our local tequila supplies. Remember when that happened a few years back? Suddenly there was no tequila in town. In fact, there was a global tequila shortage if I remember correctly. Hectique! Anyway, you may have heard about the Swine Flu outbreak all over the US. From […]
What’s the weather looking like for this weekend? Look no further! This week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girl is none other than one of the The BOMB Surf BOMBshells , 21 year old Miss Cape and former Miss SA finalist, Michelle G from M1 Management. We have a little chat with the little treasure before she gives […]
