Truth

Situated between Greenpoint / Waterfront and Downtown, Truth coffee was a great find - tasty coffee, nice ambience and a great view.

It's a small cafe & roastery, located in an interesting building - the Prestwich Memorial - inside was a fascinating exhibition of the turbulent history of this area, supported by excellent photos, and some stunning maps, both old and new.

So, great view, great coffee and maps = happy :)

Mother and daughter walk hand in hand along the road to McGregor, South Africa.

We spent 3 days over New Year in McGregor, staying in a beautiful cottage, surrounded by all good things, and drinking local wine - perfect relaxation.

A quiet street in Montagu, looking south from Bath Street / Bad Straat, towards the Twistniet Nature Reserve.

A beautiful town, surrounded by great mountains, and filled with good places to eat and sleep - so an ideal place to stay for a few days.

Friends, colleagues, or perhaps a mother and daughter, heading away from the main street in Calitzdorp, South Africa.

Vines from the Boplaas vineyards stand on the right; grapes early in season enjoying the warm sun.

The view was amazing, and I struggled to capture the feeling in a single image - I like this one however, and felt that black and white gave it the most honest representation.

It was hard to leave this spot; watching the light and shadows change, with the rays of sunlight behind the clouds flickering and highlighting different parts of the foreground.

But a shower, and dinner in Oudtshoorn were waiting - the view will however never be forgotten.
