It had been on my to-do list for quite some time. But, as you know, living in Cape Town one can become very spoiled and traveling to Jo’burg is not something you do very often if you don’t need to. Although I must say, the better I get to know Jo’burg the more enjoy the [...]
After an absolute gorgeous day yesterday in Jo’burg, I arrived this morning in Amsterdam. How exciting! I was so looking forward to this trip. Many things planned for these 2.5 weeks in Europe. It’s going to be SO much fun AND good for business as well. It began with spending the day with my family [...]
Everytime I have to leave Cape Town for traveling, I have all kinds of rituals that I do before leaving this magic place. It feels like I’m homesick even before having left. Oh, I MUST have that last glass of Chardonnay with that special friend and oh yes, I must have a last look at [...]
Every month I organise a day outing for XL members & families. Yesterday we went to a San culture and training centre, just 1 hours drive from Cape Town. The San (also known as Bushmen) are the first people of Southern Africa. They used to be hunter-gathering people but in more recent decades they mostly [...]
Yay!! Winter has definitely kicked in in Cape Town. Lots of rain, snow on the mountains inland and restaurants offering fabulous deals for all the locals. Yesterday I had another wonderful evening with first some delicious pasta with wild mushrooms & Parma ham at Andiamo’s + a glass of Merlot, for 2 people: ZAR 99. [...]
Oh, this is such a favourite thing to do on a Saturday morning. I don’t go often enough but when I go, I ENJOY! Last Saturday I met a friend for breakfast at the Old Biscuit Mill Market. My usual routine is to be there quite early, between 9h – 9h30 because it tends to [...]
Just a quick note to say that I had a nice & productive time over the weekend in Durban at the tourism Indaba, the 3rd biggest tourism conference in the world. It’s always such a well organised event and I just enjoy connecting and chatting to many people that I don’t see throughout the year. [...]
I almost forgot to write about our little get-away after Easter! My friend Fiona and me spend 4 nights on a farm just outside Greyton, about 2 hours drive from Cape Town. Greyton is really of-the-beaten-track and for those that really just want to relax, drink coffee in the local cafe and mingle with the [...]
YES! The wonderful secret season in Cape Town has started. Although it will not be secret anymore for a long time because I share it now with you! Winter is about to begin and restaurants & guesthouses offer great value for money. Weather might not always be great but for example today, we had a [...]
On such a FABULOUS day as today, one should take advantage and be OUT in nature. So yes, finally, I went for a hike again. After all family and friends visiting I now have some time again to go hopefully on some more hikes. I had never been up to Elephants Eye so it was [...]
Oh, how wonderful was the Easter weekend! We had STUNNING weather, sunny, no wind, up to, I think, about 28 degrees and yes, even me, I spend 2 days at the beach. WoW! In summer I can hardly bear the heat but last weekend I just looooooved the sun. I felt like an absolute beach [...]
Having family and friends visit from The Netherlands is always a good excuse to travel around new areas in South Africa. Madikwe Game Reserve, close to Gabarone (Botswana) had been on my mind for a very long time and finally, 2 weeks agao, I was able to visit, together with my parents and aunt & [...]
Finally it was time to hike the Madiba of Trails, the Otter trail. One has to make a booking a year in advance to get on this 5 day / 42,5 km long trail in the Tsitsikamma National Park. It doesn’t seem a lot but I promise you, 42,5 km in 5 days is more [...]
