Cape Town Cruisin'

Friday, 14 September, 2012
Oh Cape Town. With your mountain. And your rainy winters. And your beautifully clad citizens. And your coffee. Oh yes. Your specialty coffee.

We were there for 3 days. These are just a handful of the places we went. At the other places I was obviously too busy putting delicious food in my mouth to get my hands on the camera. Or some interesting person snatched my attention over the rim of my coffee cup. Or I was typing things like this.

Nonetheless, it was a fantastic trip filled with many coffee adventures to expand on in the future. For now, feast your eyes on these.

The palates of these fine baristas are put to the test each day, and it shows in the way they treat the coffee they serve with tender loving care.

It was outstanding and I hope the boys will accept my apologies and a beer on me sometime :) I realise now that I forgot to pay for this coffee while bantering with the baristas.

Loved the vibe at Field Office, and we didn't have to feel bad about whipping out our laptops, a wonderful environment to get a caffeine fix and some work done.
