Lots of African ingredients are used. It seems like not long ago tourists would struggle to find anything African to eat that was accessible to them in Cape Town. But now there&rsquo;s a lot on offer. Can definitely recommend this place. Great, unique ice-cream and super friendly, informative people working there.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2019-08-06-the-shuttered-remnants-of-gandalfs/ Tue, 06 Aug 2019 11:43:44 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2019-08-06-the-shuttered-remnants-of-gandalfs/ <p>The shuttered remnants of Gandalf&rsquo;s - for about 20 years the main place for undergrads and other young people to go and enjoy cheap booze, crowds jacked up on youth hormones, and rock &rsquo;n roll music. Ian McKellan was once photographed hanging off the sign while shooting something in the area. I played a couple of good shows there though even when the place first opened I felt like a teacher chaperoning at a high school dance. Rock &rsquo;n roll is now on its last legs as a mass youth movement.</p>
