| Cappuccinos view at Northgate |
Especially with this urban lifestyle of ours where we look into four walls at the office!
On Friday evening I really felt like having a view while eating a traditional fish and chips. I would have loved to have been able to go for a quick drive out to the beach, and watch the sun set over the waves... *sigh*
We could not think of one place in our immediate surroundings in Johannesburg where we could go for a view. I thought of Cappuccinos at Northgate Mall. I knew that the view was limited to the smokers, but I thought we could try our luck!
Not so lucky! We were not allowed into the smoker's area because under 18s are not allowed! I totally agree with the rule, but I feel that they are wasting prime space on smokers. It should be opened up to all their clients!
I love Cappuccinos food, but it gets a thumbs down because of this!
See the photo on top for the view that we got in the end! Very sad for a Friday evening...
Maybe I am just in need of a holiday?
I also found this cellphone photo of my previous lodgings of the view I had from my flat in the suburbs! It really helped me zone down by just looking over the surrounding hills.

Do you also find inspiration in a view over the landscape?
Do you know of a restaurant in Johannesburg with a lovely view?
Gorgeous rainbow in the photo.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem a shame that only a select few can have the view. Here that would not be a problem, the smokers would get a view....as they have to stand outside.
I like to see the clouds out of my living room window, but it is always spoilt a little by the houses. Still nice to see but cannot photograph it.

I also love a view...and my favourite is of the sea...so my favourite restaurants are at Hobbie Beach...Blue Waters is usually where I can sip coffee and dream and stare;-)
ReplyDeleteI love your header photo...so fun.
Sometimes I feel totally locked in by the city and then I need a view - but not a city view.
