Tour

Yesterday, I walked along the "Salt River" area, being bordered by the districts Woodstock and Observatory (-> where I am living now). It is an area which used to be the industrial and textile center in former times but later developed to a creative space. Nearly every third house has been decorated by local and international artists. The majority of its residents are Muslims and the so-called "coloured" community. The morning started with a lovely Cappuccino and a chocolate waffle at the "The Old Biscuit Mill" market. Here you can find all sorts of local and international food - Asian, French, Malaysian cuisine - very tasty! Not to forget: clothing and even better, local handcrafts. :) After my walking tour I tried a smoothie with beetroot, lemon and something else. Likewise very nice and healthy. Moreover, I bought a lovely handmade handbag with floral elements on it. I'll pretty sure this one will accompany me on many future trips. :)
