Morning coffee on the beach - Liwa, Oman

A Happy New Year to you all! I know it is already 1 month ago, but I were a bit busy and this belated message needs to do the trick.

Living next to the sea is such a privilege and sometimes we totally forget what we have on our doorstep. So a few friends and I decided to get up early on a Saturday morning and drive 40km to feel the sand of a different beach. Needless to say, we got a little bit lost on our way to the beach, but eventually found the spot people were talking about. Folding open our camp chairs, coffee mugs out, biscuits and croissants spread out on the blanket, and we are ready to relax and enjoy good company. After we got heated up by the morning sunrays, we went for a stroll down the beach. There were unfortunately not as many seashells as we originally thought, but there were a few beauties engulfed in wet sand.

We saw a few murals painted by an Omani artist. Omani's are not really accustomed to paint on their walls, but this small village seemed really impressed by the artist's work, and so were we.

Cape Town is THE place to be!

During my holiday in South Africa, I've decided to visit Cape Town for a weeks holiday. I fell in love with that place! I can understand why so many people visit this amazing place. My brother went along on this trip and we had a ball!

We went and done some wine & brandy tastings and even went to see how they make a local beer. The Table Mountain cable car company decided to do their annual maintenance during our visit. The Waterfront was a cool place to visit and we had a tasty beer on the docks.

During our trip I had the opportunity to catch up with friends I made in London - Kobus and Edna. It was great to see them again. Thanks for an amazing night!

Here are a few photos that sums up our awesome time in the Mother City!
