TRAFFIC CAM WEBSITE SHOWS MORE THAN JUST ROADS AND CARS
29 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]
2OCEANSVIBE DECLARES SUMMER OPEN!
28 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
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 […]
PIGEON FLIES FASTER THAN TELKOM BROADBAND
09 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
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 […]
HOW COOL IS THIS DOG?
01 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 18 Comments
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. […]
IT’S 27 DEGREES ON FRIDAY
26 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 10 Comments
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 […]

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 […]
AS WE THINK BACK TO SUMMER
02 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
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? […]
FREE BEER ON SEA POINT PROMENADE
18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
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 […]
REVOLTING KLOOF STREET STUDIOS STATUE FALLS OVER IN STORM
18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
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 […]
LAKE LAKE COMES AROUND AGAIN
12 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
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 […]

THE CAPRICE WINTER “2 FOR 1 BURGER SPECIAL” HAS BEGUN!!
06 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
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 […]
ADORABLE LITTLE MEERKATS

29 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
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 […]

YOU DIRTY OLD SWINE!
28 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
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 […]

WEATHER TALK
02 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Although there was a perfect sunset from The Safe House last night, the wind picked up in a big way and blew well into the night. [pause for effect] With the wind pumping through from about 20h00 last night, I was worried it would continue into the morning and that I wouldn’t be able to […]

CHAMELEONS DIG MY RAY BANS
31 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Andy Skinstad has an acute sense of what I enjoy. That is why he sent me this video, showing a chameleon walking over a range of Ray Ban Wayfarers . A chameleon flirts with Seth’s shazzles. Obviously I was quite pleased that they included a red pair like mine in the experiment! Although […]

EXTREME SHEEP
30 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Like Kim Jong il , I do enjoy mass crowd formations and visual displays, using the likes of military armies and gymnasts. I have, however, never seen it done by sheep. Not in the day, nor at night! This will blow your mind: You like that? Amazing, just when you thought you knew […]

Apart from glorious photo’s and stories about the brave firemen, another concern mentioned on the various blogs and Twitters following the recent Table Mountain fire , was the plight of the wildlife.
