I honestly never explored Muizenberg any further than Beach Road and the Main Road, I think it’s called Muizenberg Road?

Went to a gig last night in Palmer Road Muizenberg – thanks to openstreetmap, we were able to find the place.  The motivation to get to that particular road was to see Blaqpearl live… My, my, my! Yes that expression means that I am/was blown away.

It’s similar to lower main road in Observatory crossed with a bit of Kalk Bay, trendy, tiny, little (I could have sworn) cobble road, neatly tucked away behind those horrid looking buildings when driving along Beach Road, in Muizenberg…

I must go there again some time but during day time!

The gig was held at the Wellbeing Cafe’ / Coffee Shop, that’s no. 37 in Palmer Road. My understanding is that this is an organic food store. They also offer massage therapy sessions, herbal teas and much more. Upon arrival, me, dressed in my three quarter pants, my summer takkies, a hoodie half zipped down, a peak cap and my hair hanging down lose and big and curly – I then compared myself to, I swear, every female in that place.

They were all wearing a scarf on their heads – the type that gypsies / rastafarian females would wear. Tied into a knot at the back of the head…I still don’t get it; there was however quite a bit of foreign Greek type sounding lingo all around me? The granny in the lounger convinced me that the neibourhood must be of some greek or something decent? Loads of victorian style buildings.

There was another store that I also wouldn’t mind checking out called Organics Alive at no. 42.

I  found a picture of Palmer Road to give you an idea…
