Ramfest festival 2010 Cape Town

February 28th, 2010 Francois No comments

Ramfest festival was held at Nekkies in Worcester, and wow, what a party! Definitely one of the best festivals I have been to.

I went two years ago, it was quite a bit smaller people wise, and quite a bit more of a metal/goth crowd. This time there were no less metal heads, but there was more trance and hippy people, making the crowd a great mixture, everyone was welcome.

We arrived early on the Friday afternoon in an attempt to score a great tent location under some shade, but unfortunately so did tons of other people, so we gave up that idea and got down to pitching the tent, and cracking open some beers.

Trip to Langebaan

Kraal bay

This past weekend (valentines) we took a little trip to Langebaan, it was Natacha, her friend Niki and myself. We were going to pitch tents and camp because we didnt want to spend a lot, wanted to be on the seafront, and because we were going to be busy every day and just wanted a place to crash at night.

Things didnt work out that way though, one place called Seebries, had camping as well as ‘chalets’ available for not much more per night. We rented a chalet for under R200 a night (DAMN!), which had a kitchenette, braai area, two bedrooms (one with 3 beds, and one with two), a bathroom and shower. Definitely a bargain at that price…but not in any way ‘classy’, anyway we didnt care, it was perfect for us, and the bonus was that it was very close to the sea, so we fell asleep to the sound of the waves every night :) Read more…
