Missing Cape Town

I envy the people living in Cape Town. Its very very scenic. The kind of landscapes you see here are fantastic. Fortunately for me, I was packed off and sent to South Africa on work.

Im here for the Indian Premier League. I get to sit in a box. I get to pig out of free drinks and free food. More often than not, Im always watching the match with a glass of beer in my hand. I get to travel with two teams. The Deccan Chargers and the Rajasthan Royals. I get to rub shoulders with Gilly. I even get to have lunches with Scott Styris. 

On certain days, i take the time off to visit tourist spots armed with my SLR, a jacket and sometimes with a flimsy tripod. But that was in Cape Town. I've heard nasty stories about gun point experiences at Jo'burg, Port Elizabeth and East London. Which is why I've not even bothered to take a stroll with my camera. 

However, I've been here since the 16th of April and intend to stay till the 26th  of May. And I'm starting to feel lonely. I miss my wife. I miss the guys from Puma India. I miss Mum and Dad. and I miss chilling with Aditi, Niyu and Ravi.

May started with Reva's bday. I missed her. I wish she was here with me. We could drive to Camps Bay together. Maybe down a bottle of white wine and look at the sunset.

Today's the third of May. I made a few desktop calendars from pictures taken at Cape Point and at Camps Bay. I normally send them out to a whole lot of people month after month. I thought I'll put the MAY ones up here. All these were taken at Cape Town. I wana go back to Cape Town. Reva, get here fast. We've got to go to Cape Point, Camps Bay, Table Mountain and to the Wine yards.

Camps Bay - We got a fantastic view at 6.45 pm. The sun had set. Clouds were below us and cars were zipping by with their headlights on.

Standing on firm ground and yet above the clouds...

On top of Cape Point. I wish I had a polorising filter.

The sun setting behind table mountain. I caught this through the window in my room. 

Table mountain again. This time, caught from the table top. 
On the way to Cape Point, we made a few stops.

Camps bay again. Im so glad i had my flimsy tripod.
