Here are the latest updates on our pages:
To foreign shores? The Department of International Relations and Cooperation has a useful page of “Advice for South African Citizens Travelling Abroad” at http://www.dfa.gov.za/consular/travel_advice.htm with topics such as -
“What happens if your passport is stolen/lost while abroad?”
“Registration of South Africans Abroad” (with a link to the ROSA online registration page)
“Driving abroad”
“Yellow Fever Requirements” (essential reading this – mess it up and you could be refused
e-entry!)
“The best travel tips”
And much more……
Guest Files: A visit from an Irish actress and her hubby!
Style: Louis talks about ostrich eggs in answer to a guest’s plea (watch this space for my favourite African Decor shops in a new ‘Decor Walk’ which I am drawing up!)
Villa Diary: Take a look at our local heroes! My Mom’s fabulous Milk Tart Recipe!
Activities: New! A DRIVE AROUND THE CAPE PENINSULA (also CLIMBING PLATTEKLIP GORGE – A SAFE ROUT UP T.M.)
Entertainment: This month in the galleries, concerts and theatres of Cape Town – The Annual World Aids Day Gala Concert at the ARTSCAPE.
Restaurants: A list of our nearest and dearest restaurants with a short description and walking distance form the Villa – XMAS CHOICES to follow – PLEASE REMEMBER TO BOOK YOUR RESTAURANTS DURING THE DEC-FEB TOURIST SEASON!
Louis is passionate about the latest in décor, style and design trends (STYLE) and, as Cape Town was recently named the World Design Capital 2014 , he will be keeping Villa visitors informed on that front.
Keith is our SPORT fanatic and will be giving his suggestions and opinions in a separate page. Cindy is our ‘homebody’ and she will write about interesting stuff happening in and around the hotel and our area (VILLA DIARY).
Then I thought we should share some of the fun stories (and often uplifting ones as well) sent to us in a GUEST DIARY.
So the tabs at the top of the blog are:
* HOME
*ENTERTAINMENT
*SPORT
*ACTIVITIES
*VILLA DIARY
*STYLE
*RESTAURANTS
*GUEST DIARY
We look forward to meeting you at AN AFRICAN VILLA – oh, by the way, frequent visitors at the Villa are Brandi (a golden retriever) and Taylor and Monty (two daschunds).
