Last weekend I went to the beautiful Onrus for the Kalfiefees. I was quite impressed with this year's festival setup - complete with a Computicket stall and its own art route! The festival's line-up looked fantastic, with plenty of things to see and do.

On Saturday I also went to the Hermanus Wine Festival. This is a fantastic event if you are a good-food-and-wine person. With plenty of yummy food and wine/beer stalls plus live music, you can stay for the whole day (and come back for more the next day!).

We had a great time tasting some samoosas and local beer. And I had the opportunity to capture some great shots:

"Pony" rides.

This guy had an interesting stall - He engraved words/art on glass.

"Piano Ben" and his band entertained the crowd on Saturday:

Plenty of wine tastings:

And food:

Everyone enjoyed the good food:

If all the people, food and wine become too much...Head down to the beautiful Hermanus Waterfront for some whale spotting!!

On Saturday evening we went to Hermanus' famous Gecko Bar. We had a festival dinner - in the form of two yummy pizzas. Then we headed down to the Kalfiefees Kuiertent in Onrus. With some live music and the bar being super cheap, we had a good time sitting underneath a heater!

I will definitely say that both the festival was a success and it is surely growing every year! This is definitely one to mark off on your arts calender for next year!

Well done!

Have a great week!

Kalfiefeesvieringe!

Ek weet ek het reeds oor hierdie wonderlike klein fesie geskryf, maar ek voel ek wil net weer 'n paar dinge hieroor noem.

Die Kalfiefees is die baba van die bekende, jaarlikse Walvisfees. Dit kan eintlik nie meer 'n baba genoem word nie, want dit is al 'n paar jaar lank 'n volwaardige fees op sy eie. Hierdie diamant van 'n kultuurfees word jaarliks op Onrusrivier (net buite Hermanus) gehou. Hierdie jaar word dit van die 4de tot die 7de Augustus gehou.

Daar is hope om te sien, eet en luister vir almal! Volgens my is hierdie jaar se hoogtepunte "Bye ma, Jaypee" met Chris van Niekerk en "Dinner for one" met die baie bekende Elize Cawood. Ook "My pa dink hy's Elvis" lyk na 'n heerlike stukkie teater.

Hierdie jaar sal daar twee kuier tente wees, dus sal daar altyd erens iets te siene wees. Daar is ook vele boekpraatjies en baie musikante wat hierdie jaar hul talente sal vertoon.

Indien jy niks het om te doen nie en nerens om te wees nie, maak gerus 'n draai in die pragtige Onrusrivier. Dit sal verseker die moeite werd wees!

Ek gaan defnitief my teater hoed opsit en 'n draai gaan maak - met my kamera!

Hier is die program vir die naweek:

Kaartjies is beskikbaar by Computicket of as jy nog nie weet wat jy wil gaan kyk nie, kan jy wel ook by die fees kaartjies koop.

Geniet!

well...I have had a long, boring day, but no day goes by with a little excitement ofcourse. Today I have popped into the NEW (!) Zula Soundbar in Longstreet and I must say...it is starting to look better by the day. I hope they will finish in time for the GRAND OPENING tomorrow evening!

I also looked at some cameras today - I am looking to buy one, but I am a bit clueless when it comes to digital cameras. I know that I want something with a good zoom and atleast 12 megapixels. I got really exited just looking at them..yay! I cant wait for a new camera!

I also peeped onto Tafelberg Publishers' website. They have just published a new book - Kyk My in Die Oë - it is a first of its kind in the Afrikaans language. A straight-forward, insightful story of a person's struggle with the mysterious bipolar disorder.

Set in a busy, news cafe, where Elsabe (the writer) works as a journalist, she tells us how, in 2001, she was struck by this disease and people's reaction towards her. After episodes in institutions and hospitals and even brain shock therapy, Elsabé survived and was able to go on with her life. Her accurate writings allow us to experience what it's like to live with the disease. The book is both helpful to those who suffer from the sickness and also to friends and family to understand this mysterious disease.

The Book Lounge in Roelandstreet, Cape Town, will host the launch of the book on Tuesday the 12th of July. Elna van der Merwe, book-editor of Huisgenoot, will speak to Elsabe Brits about her book and Bipolar Disorder. The evening will start at 17h30 for 18h00 and please rsvp before the end of tomorrow.

I think this might me a very interesting talk. I think it could be a very insightful book to anyone who is interested in the disease or is struggling with the sickness. If I can escape from work for a while on Tuesday to pop by, I will definitely do so.

Staying with the Afrikaans folk and events - The Kalfiefees is coming up. This is the "baby festival" of the Hermanus Whale Festival. It is a very sweet, intimate art festival showcasing some of the best art, music and theatre currently showing in the country. The festival runs from the 4th to the 9th of August in mostly Onrusriver (just outside of Hermanus).

Here is the programme for the festival and tickets can be pre-booked:

For more info visit their site at: http://www.kalfiefees-hermanus.co.za/

It will be a fun little art-party (with a party-tent in the bushes).

And if you need advice on accommodation for the festival. Take mine: Zoete Inval backpackers is a fantastic choice! Situated just outside of Hermanus it is truly a diamond. With a jacuzzi overlooking the mountains, nice, fluffy doublebeds and a cute kitchen and bar, be sure not to drive by this one!
