I feel as if I’m having to remind myself how to write again. It’s been so long, not for lack of things to write about but because it turns out that moving house is such an all absorbing exercise that pretty much everything else has taken a holiday. Now that we are finally settled into […]

The tragedy of Taste of Cape Town is that to taste every delectable looking dish on offer you’d probably have to go three days in a row and burn through a lot of crowns (the festival currency). Even with two of us sharing every dish (no duplicates allowed) we only managed to tick off a […]

I’ve paid two unexpected visits to the Earth Fair Food Market in Tokai recently, and definitely plan to make a few more scheduled trips there in the future. The first visit was a quick stop on a Wednesday evening after work, just to check it out since it’s so close by.The place was absolutely buzzing […]

Many many months ago, at braai with friends, a casual conversation about scuba diving planted the seed for our long awaited and much anticipated holiday in Thailand this February. Centred around six of us meeting up on a four day liveaboard dive boat (more about that later!), the rest of the holiday quickly stretched to […]

It’s been a very busy December with no signs slowing down just yet, so I’ve been a bit delayed writing up about two fantastic experiences I’ve had in Cape Town recently – Whisky Tasting and Chocolate (Dessert) Making!

Istanbul was a revelation for me. It was by happy chance that we spent two and a half days there on route to our holiday in Germany and Switzerland with H’s family. After arriving at our hotel at 6:30am (6 hours too early to check-in), we suited up against the 1 degree chill, stashed our […]
Possibly one of the best things about a proper sopping wet Cape Winter is the Cape Spring that follows. If you’re not already queuing outside the West Coast National Park this morning, I suggest you go get your picnic basket on and make a plan to “go see the flowers”. Last weekend, in the name […]
Having learnt to scuba dive just over a year ago in preparation for our honeymoon to Mozambique, and braving enough cold water dives in Cape Town to get through the Open Water and Advanced PADI courses, I have decided that tropical water is what diving must have been invented for in the first place. After […]
After our busy Bangkok trip it only took one hair-raising 4am taxi ride, a domestic flight, a bus shuttle, a dodgy bakkie ride, a 2 hour ferry trip and a short longtail boat taxi, and we arrived in Paradise, I mean Long Beach on Koh Phi Phi Don. Long Beach is around the corner from […]
