Last Friday the
Cape Town Diamond Museum treated a few bloggers, including myself to a day of luxury. It was a day of sightseeing and decadence! The Cape Town Diamond Museum located at the Clock Tower at the V&A Waterfront. The only one of its kind in the Mother City!

Drinks and lunch by Jason Bakery |
First stop: Truth Coffee Cult where we had a session with David Donde! A man who is passionate about coffee! Beyond their top class cuppa, the décor of this place is a factory for the imaginative. We were treated to a coffee tasting. Something this Mishtery has never tried but highly recommends! This is the Truth, no sugar required! This amazing coffee haven is located at Prestwich Memorial on the corner of Buitengracht Street and Somerset Road.

Careful, crossing the road! |
|
I love the interior! |
|
First you break it! Then you smell it! Then you slurp it! |
|
Using the bikes as decor! Clever! I want an Ubuntu bike! |
Second stop: The Lindt Chocolate Studio where we had the pleasure of meeting Dimo Simatos. Dimo is a Lindt Chocolatier, who is regarded as one of the finest pastry chefs in South Africa. The Lindt Chocolate Studio is located at Cape Quarter, 72 Waterkant Street, de Waterkant.

I am as puzzled as you are.

Third stop: Champers on arrival, fire and scintelation with diamonds and sushi by Sevruga. Fantastic. A heartfelt thank you to Mr Yair Shimansky for this experience!
|
Where the magic happens. |
|
About 500 carat Tanzanite... If I am not mistaken. |
|
I guess, you'd say... What can make me feel this way? A MyGirl diamond with 47 facests. :-) |
|
My Two-point-something ring for a couple of seconds! Ah, to be able to afford this ring! |
