Joy-Anne Goodenough considers herself a lucky woman: she lives in one of the most beautiful cities in the world – Cape Town; she gets to swim in the ocean daily before work; and she gets paid to blog.

I am a regular reader of this travel blog – it’s fun and informative (‘specially because I’m also from CT) – a great read on my rss feed.

She’s also a bona-fide mermaid.
And waaaaaay too modest.
And has amazing ken of places of eatery and entertainment on the peninsula.
There. That’s more complete now.

Getting to swim before work is pretty cool; I could do it too, I suppose, though I’d have to get up very early.
