Blogging Hiatus

Gentle Reader,

Some five years into the life of Afrika T, I now find myself unable to keep up with contributions at a level that I and you have come to expect from this blog. Partly this is because of other activities in responsible tourism (see example here, and another here), partly from other projects in sustainability (see examples here and here), and partly for reasons that are more personal.

I am certainly still active online and in responsible travel, so feel free to comment on existing posts here, to follow me on Twitter, and to note what I've been reading online via Delicious. I also hope to return to Afrika T, so am not bringing the blog to a halt, just declaring a hiatus of indefinite duration...

Thank you for your support over the years, and, if you're a newcomer to the site, may it still prove valuable.

Kind regards

Kurt

Funky penthouse trailer park in Cape Town

Combining down-to-earth trailer park basics with chic urban style and all the creature comforts, the new penthouse trailer park in Cape Town is one of a kind. On the roof of the Grand Daddy Hotel at Long Street and Castle, smack in the heart of things (the hotel formerly known as the Metropole).

I've been watching from a nearby flat as it's been assembled, and it opened at last in December 2008.

What is it? Airstream trailers done up by designers and configured with private bar area, braai and lounge. Very cool. Great venue for a group, especially a wedding party.

Pics and comments can be found at Inspiring Spaces and Rogers Roamings.

Doesn't have much to do with Responsible Travel, but it is very cool...and very Cape Town.
