M.I.A.

I finally have internet! I had a wonderful and super busy month in Europe and I'm really enjoying the slower pace here in South Africa. These photos I took are of one of my favourite childhood places in a coastal town about 1.5 hours from Cape Town. I spent the past few days here and even though it's Winter, it was still really beautiful and peaceful, and it was great to catch up with family I hadn't seen in years. I'll be breaking Europe up into separate posts and will try to make up for the 5+ weeks that I've been away!

GOING, GOING

Today! My digital and film cameras are packed and it feels good to be doing Europe with decent cameras this time round and properly document places, experiences and food…  maybe do something similar to Vietnom(?). I won’t have my laptop for the month I’m in Europe so won’t be able to do any posts, but follow me on Twitter (@m4dlol) for updates and Instagram (@m4dlol) for pictures of coffee and overuse of the earlybird filter (I’ll try post some mildly interesting photos as well). And please let me know if you have any suggestions for places to go or eat in Paris/ Budapest/ Vienna/ Madrid/ Lisbon/ Berlin & Cape Town.  I’m ridiculously excited, this past semester was way too busy for my liking and I can’t wait to see and debrief with friends and family overseas. Tschüss!

FARE

I realise I'm a bit late with writing about this place (better photos and words here) but I thought I'd give my two cents on Bread & Circus anyway. It was absolutely lovely to have a quick break here in my very busy past week with Hannah and Nicole, enjoy the super fresh and tasty fare and talk to people who get my latest obsession with anything to do with cafe culture and share my love for muesli. I'm currently going through a sourdough bread phase; (in the past it has been banana bread and chicken burger phases) and my goats chevre on sourdough here was definitely memorable. I loved the interior's homely-yet-industrial feel and will most certainly be going back to get some more of that chocolatey/ spelt/ seasalty cookie goodness that we ate so fast I couldn't even get a photo of.
