Gap Year Experiences

A great weekend

Monday 10 December 2007

What an amzing weekend in Cape Town! Perfect summer weather really kicked in this weekend and the obvious decision (for most of Cape Town) was to hit the beach. Clifton beach is a landmark in Cape Town and possibly one of the most beautiful spots on earth. This Saturday Clifton was at its best! Perfect sunshine, no wind and amazingly warm water (for Cape Town). The beach had an awesome vibe going and it was the perfect way to spend the day. Saturday night did not dissapoint either. It was kicked off by a visit to a Cape Town institution, Mercury Live. Mercury is the main live music venue in the city and we went there on Saturday to see a band called LPShow. They haven't been gigging much lately but I can honestly say that they are still one of the best live acts around and always play a great set! For those of you who've seen the full Pepper DVD, the track during the Durban section on the DVD is a song by LPShow called "Taylor and Young". For anyone who wants to hear their music, log onto www.loadtheshow.com to download it all. I hope it gives you as much enjoyment as it gives me!

Anyway so after an amazing start to the evening, going home wasn't an option. So we moved to the Camps Bay strip and ended up at one of my personal favourite spots in the city, Ignite. Ignite really goes off during the summer and Saturday night was no exception. It's such a great venue and always proivides large amounts of good times! You know it's been a good night when the lights have been turned on and you are being politely asked to leave the dance floor by a 6ft5 bouncer who hasn't slept in 3 weeks. As I said, a great day followed by a great night! Here's to many more weekends like that and to a great summer in Cape Town!
