This week was INCREDIBLE!! Just a quick not to say that AMSTERDAM ROCKS!! I come here every year and always stay about a week in Amsterdam just to catch up with friends and enjoy the beautiful city. This week was different. For the first time I planned a full week of meetings with incentive agencies, [...]
Going up the long drive way is definitely impressive when you enter this spectacular wine estate. The WoW Factor is def there!! Check www.delaire.co.za for stunning pics. Somehow I forgot to take pictures of the estate, probably because I was in awe!! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with African arts and features a MASSIVE fire [...]
Jeez!! What a match and I was in the stadium AGAIN, here in Cape Town, just down the road from where I live! I can’t believe it how much I love this soccer world cup and how much I am involved in all of it. Of course, to start with, it helps that I’m Dutch [...]

Finally I made it to this stunning place that has been on my to-do list for at least the last year. It’s not a place to go to if you a last-minute weekend-planner because it’s fully booked all the time. So I was pleasantly surprised when I phoned last Monday and managed to get in [...]
This country just doesn’t stop to surprise me with all the beautiful spots to be visited. To be honest, I only had visited Vergelegen in Somerset West and was looking forward to visit a new winey. Well, not really new, but new to me. We already heard that the write-ups of the restaurant were very [...]
