December 17, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

Being a massive Depeche Mode fan, my friend had to see DJ Fletch (aka Andy Fletch, co-founder of Depeche Mode). He was doing a world tour and one of his stops was at Club Eden at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the Gangnam District. Club Eden is without a doubt one of the poshest clubs I’ve … [Read more…]

O-frikkin-rania

December 13, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

I’ve been surprised by the amount of South Africans who have not heard of Orania. A quick look at Wikipedia will give you the town history – basically, in 1990 (about the time apartheid laws were being repealed and Madiba was released from prison), about 40 Afrikaner families bought a private piece of land. The … [Read more…]

Cape Town CBD- Haiku Asian Tapas

December 4, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

I must admit, the husband and I do not have the most adventurous of palates. We tend to stick to Indian cuisines when dining out (I know, terribly boring).

Cape Winelands: Santé Hotel Resort and Spa

November 26, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

I’m a daily deals addict. There, I said it. Instead of my inbox being filled with forwarded emails from friends & family, I’m greeted by about 7-10 daily deal emails every morning. I know, it is kind of sad, but if it wasn’t for my addiction, I would not have stumbled on a gem like … [Read more…]

The Dogs Bollocks aka “The Yard” or “Bitches Tits”,  is a very “hipster” type of restaurant (or should I say garage/ driveway) situated in Roodehek Street in Cape Town. I’ve been hearing about this place for a while now and decided to check it out this weekend. We parked very close to the Hope Street … [Read more…]

Phuket: The Burasari Hotel

November 13, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 4 Comments

After a 1 hr 45 min flight from Chiang Mai on Air Asia (decent flight, terrible coffee), we safely arrived in Phuket. The views flying over Phuket were beautiful – blue skies, clear blue seas and picturesque limestone “islands” all over. We felt like this would be the island holiday we had always dreamed of. … [Read more…]
