This period in world history will be something that our children/grand-children will most probably find quite boring to read about unless they are currently experiencing life at home with no formal schooling. All those folk who are already living "the dream" on islands, or hidden in forests or mountains the world over, may not even realise that the rest of the world is now also in isolation!!
For those who follow Ben Fogle's TV documentaries about people living "In the Wild" perhaps isolation on a tropical island or hidden amongst the clouds in the Himalayas now seems much more appealing?
Having said that, this city girl is truly missing the beauty of Cape Town and further afield with my camera slung around my neck. Our planned trip to Southern Italy was due to start 7th May 2020.
This will now, most probably, remain a dream.
For most of us in the Hospitality Industry life is currently pretty tough but we hope to survive this crisis with not too many scars. Most of us in this industry also love to travel as and when time permits. One has to wonder if international travel will ever reach the highs of recent years?
Or will many planes land up in scrap yards? We hope not.
Having said all that, we hope that Cape Town will once again be on the bucket list of both local and international travellers. South Africa has incredible beauty and Cape Town is a city like none other.
Kalk Bay remains a village that can be visited over and over again. The harbour is always interesting, the locals even more so, the restaurants are varied, the fishing boats draw photographers and the seals are always on the look out for scraps off the boats.
Kirstenbosch is Cape Town's pride and joy - this Botanical Garden is one of the best in the world and attracts both locals and tourists. Take time out to enjoy a picnic on the wide expanses of lawn, enjoy the summer concerts, enjoy the bird life, marvel at the stunning flora, hike up into the mountain or just sit on a bench and enjoy the mountain views.
Art and Sculpture are part and parcel of the Cape Town scene - visit the Norval Foundation for interesting exhibits and a slow wander around their gardens. The onsite restaurant offers a huge deck for summer breakfasts or lunches.

Art lovers can also enjoy the modern Zeitz Museum in the V&A.
The Franschhoek Motor Museum is a classic car lovers delight and also brings you to the Winelands for a long, lazy lunch!

In the ocean, on the beaches, in the mountains, or biking along Sea Point Promenade.
So please, don't be in Lockdown forever - we would love to see you as soon as possible!!
