Salty Crax Backpackers and Tours

greets

new kid on the block Burger King landed on thursday with people flocking to get a whopper with no bacon. the new arrival to cape town shores offered the first 1000 whoppers free to the hungry/curios patrons who queued for hours to get their hands on the new burger in town.

same story friday :)  

think i'll wait a week or 3 before i go see what the fuss is about.

Between justin beeb, burger king and bon jovi all in one week i can safely say cape town rocks !!

who knows whats in store for the week ahead ??

hello all

was an awesome weekend of sunshine and good times, BUT had to end :(

on the bright side of things, given that the sky is grey, is that wine tours run all week - woop woop - so what a better way than to visit a couple wine farms and have a few glasses of red or whte or bubbles !! speak to us or even if you not staying with us, we'll make a plan

so pop past for a visit, jacuzzi is warming up,fire is built and theres a glass of red somewhere here

take it easy

From cold days to chilly mornings with sunny, warm afternoons, Cape Town is finally beginning to see signs of summer. No more need for a warm blazing fire, rather go sit on the beach in the warm sun and watch the surfers do their thing. The hostel is changing with seasons too... The bathrooms are being renovated and look amazing, rooms are getting fresh coats of paint, and new 'en suite' rooms are being added!

At the moment, learning Danish seems like a good idea. SaltyCrax is home to about thirteen Danes at the moment, and most are even from the same city in Denmark! Other guests and volunteers staying with us are from America, England, Canada, and Holland, and Norway. We have a pretty full house at the moment because it's a big time for volunteers, but we love it, the more the merrier!

Salty's is doing well but the question is how are you doing?! Need a holiday? Want to come to a hostel that's more like home with a staff that's more like friends? Come to Cape Town, stop by and see for yourself!
