With Veronica Paeper in the Cape Town City Ballet studio, mid-Orpheus in the Underworld rehearsals. (It opens next Friday at Artscape- book! 🤩)

VP was part of my profesh career from the very beginning: 1981 in CAPAB Ballet where she was, at that time, Resident Choreographer. She wrote Orpheus on the company in 1982- Phylis Spira was Eurydice, Eduard Greyling was Pluto & Keith Mackintosh was Orpheus. What a time that was- I loved every minute!

Please don’t miss this divine 1920’s comedy ballet - the Cape Town Philharmonic will be in the pit & it’s going to be a treat! Book at Webtickets 🎫

Le Fin.

Last day away, spent cramming, observing, absorbing all things Parisian.

Time for home.

Time to leave Lisboa! We couldn’t have asked for a more magical time in this glorious city. Met so many amazing locals, discovered the best coffee/food/wine/thrift stores/parks/jazz/ice cream… the vibe was festive & to be able to celebrate our 35th anni there was a joy.

Next whistle stop: Paris. Then home! 🛫

🔔 TRAVEL NEWS related to the Middle East conflict. Via Love Cape Town

30 March 2026
Update on travel from South Africa/ what you need to know today

*Southern Africa’s inbound tourism sector faces pressure as the conflict begins to disrupt bookings, inflate flight costs, and weaken traveller confidence, according to new industry data.

*The Southern Africa Tourism Services Association (Satsa) says 80.6% of tourism businesses are experiencing some impact, 9.4% report no impact so far, and 10.1% say it is too early to say.

*The findings, based on a survey conducted by tour operators and destination management companies, suggest a sector facing increasing friction rather than a collapse in demand.

*The conflict is actively reshaping global travel flows, with the Indian Ocean emerging as a key beneficiary.

*South Africans are choosing to travel to destinations closer to home, with agents noticing an increase in demand for Indian Ocean islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles and Réunion.
