You’ll recall some time back I featured the T-Mobile “flash mob” (here)which gathered at Liverpool Station in London, England. Well, it looks like some folk in Belgium felt they should up the ante, which they did with great success – this time at Antwerp Central train station . I got this off Chris Rawlinson’s blog […]
While the Vaal Dam is pretty impressive, Table Mountain is the only local landmark that has made the second round of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.” And by “second round” I mean 261 magnificent natural sites from 222 countries. Oh, I’ve just noticed that they’re all natural… That’s probably why the Vaal Dam […]
There’s a beautiful new round of interviews that have gone down over the last week. There was also the very spicy one on Sunday in the Sunday Times Lifestyle section (CLICK HERE FOR THAT), as well as the GoTravel24 interview and the Digital Edge podcast interview. In case you missed those, check it out: […]
I was wondering where Alewyn, one of my original Caprice waiters, disappeared to. That was before I received this incredibly amazing email from him. It turns out he followed “The way of the vibe,” quit his job and gave “living the holiday” a try. And he seems to be making some headway. In Monaco, no […]
Following on seamlessly from our very recent article about Crocs crashing , comes this heart-warming email. Hi Seth, During an excursion to Hermanus this weekend we came across this T-shirt at the flea market. Don’t know if you have seen it but thought you would enjoy it. The photo was taken with my cellphone […]
Jeepers Hudders, some of the okes with properties near The Lookout Deck have done PARTICULARLY well. These houses were once ON the Lookout Deck parking lot, but now, thanks to global warming and excessive flooding (which washed away the entire car park) they have their own private beaches! Shame Small increase in property value […]
With the wedding on Saturday, we hit Plettenberg Bay after lunch on Friday. Moby Dicks on the beach next to the BI hotel (leading to “The Wedge”) came into play and I tell you what, I was bloody impressed. This was, largely, to do with the very kak view from the restaurant. The BI […]
If I wasn’t in Plett.. Yup, that’s where I am, friends. There were no planes to be had and I found myself driving to Plett for the first time in years. With The Insurance Broker , no less. Good times. And I’m happy to report they are widening that part of the road that goes […]
This came out a while back but I didn’t think you were ready to see it. Now I think you are. Hey? Are you ok with that? I couldn’t possibly imagine dealing with that. The only option is to remove oneself from the situation. Just leave. Hmm, I’m getting progressively more annoyed the longer […]
I’ve just received a superb open letter by 2oceansvibe character (“The DJ”) and former KFM morning show DJ, Nic Marais. Nic in his old position as KFM morning show DJ Nic is currently studying law at Yale after flipping a coin, having been accepted at both Yale and Harvard. Shame, he’s quite dof. So anyway, […]
Here’s a novel way to try and get people to calm down. SAA have erected (penis penis penis) signs at Johannesburg’s Jan Smuts airport, asking travelers not to take their stress out on the SAA staff. Honestly – do we care about your fragile staff? WHAT an incredibly amazing vibe! Imagine how cool […]
[This article was written live on Sunday morning] It’s been a blur of a weekend really and whatever transpired has got nothing to do with the fat joint I had this morning before establishing myself in the Arniston Hotel breakfast lounge. You see, not only are you dealing with a view which could make Batman […]
It seems it is not just Cape Town that is under attack by the indoor helmet wearing brethren. Here we see fresh footage taken at Louis Botha airport in Durban on Sunday. Indoor helmet attack at Louis Botha airport, Durban The similarities to suicide bomb attacks are numerous. Most notable is the fact […]
I trust everyone is tuned into the latest SAA crew scandal? they were caught smuggling weed and now, cocaine. It is not known if the coke has anything to do with Joost van der Westhuizen. iol reports: South African airport security equipment needs to be urgently updated to avoid further “national embarrassments”. Prince Mashele, […]
One of the most famous pics to come out of the latest Australian fire tragedy, is this one, showing a fireman giving water to a Koala bear. The bear was first called Ken, but then they found out that he was actually a female. So they went for Sam the Koala Bear. There […]
I really must apologise for neglecting you like that. You know how much I love you and you know that it hurts me when you are sad. But I do have a very valid reason. And yes, I did remember to bring a note: I really had no idea that Le Quartier Français […]
There has been perhaps too much beaching following my stay at the Cape Grace Hotel and the kind people at Le Quartier Français in Franschhoek quite rightly assumed that I might need a good rest, special pampering and fabulous cuisine. A long weekend in their finest suite was proposed and, I’m the first to admit […]
Did you enjoy that sub-heading? “Lewd conduct the order of the day!” Hah! Who talks like that? Anyway I got an email from The Fruit Farmer, who has an amazing skill of finding local content with a bizarre twist. Always humorous, he gave me a link to an article and asked if I felt the […]

It’s quite evident that I spent last weekend in Hermanus. I told you about the sea rescue and I told you about the cock guy with the flashing blue light on the way there. But what I did NOT tell you, was about the Butlers Pizza that I ordered and had delivered to Hermanus, over […]
Some of you might have missed this little beauty! It’s an ad for T Mobile which was filmed during nromal work hours and included 350 dancers who let it rip, as everyday commuters passed through the concourse. I don’t normally use the word “concourse” but today’s Wednesday, which means it’s basically the weekend, so fuck […]
You know sometimes when someone says something and a few days later something very similar happens? Ja, well anyway, I call it a “premonition.” People then also sometimes spice it a bit and stretch the amazingness of the particular premonition by clutching onto what we in the industry refer to as “fuck all.” Like someone […]
One of the more popular examples of incredibly amazing early Hermanus architecture, is this house just above Grotto Beach, called Ses Kant. The “Seskant” house in Hermanus The name is Afrikaans (pronounced “sess cunt”) and means “six sides.”
I like the sound of this. As the “credit crunch” hits and people begin to think out the box, it’s good to see some people are embracing the 2oceansvibe concept of “Work is a sideline, live the holiday.” Some of you might be interested in this little job opportunity: Island caretaker job offer: get […]
My folks sent me this pic outside the house in Ménerbes. It’s pretty much exactly the opposite of the weather we’re having in Cape Town. Provence – right now Shopping becomes tricky.. It should be noted that, besides being home to such notables as director Ridley Scott, the mayor of Ménerbes happens to be […]
God, it’s all just so “festive,” isn’t it? People just LOVE throwing around the word “festive.” And then they frill it up a little more with the word “cheer.” Oh, there is just so much FESTIVE CHEER abound, don’t you think? I looked up festive in this book I wrote ages ago entitled “The Dictionary” […]
I tell you, it’s been a few years since I did New Year at The Mount Nelson. The last time was a bit of a blur but, funnily enough, it came up in conversation this week. The Fabrics Guy and I agreed that the last one got a full 10 out of 10, I asked […]
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 […]

Imagine spending all day answering the phone, “Chapman’s Peak, good day…” […]
