Sometimes, to truly relax, I feel that I actually have to get away from home, away from my beloved to-do lists and the (self-improved) pressure to be useful on the weekend. I have posted about Arniston before, but it remains one of favourite weekend-away spots and last weekend we were very fortunate to be invited […]

Day 1 to Ngubu Hut (4.8km) It was with some trepidation that I hoisted my pack onto my back on the first chilly, drizzly morning to set off on five days and four nights along South Africa’s stunning southern coastline from Tsitsikamma to Natures Valley. We’d booked our spot on the Otter Trail 11 months […]

So what does one do whilst waiting for one’s husband to finish surfing at Supertubes on a blustery winters day in Jeffery’s Bay? One might sit diligently in the rain and strain one’s eyes to take as many photos of be-wetsuited bodies cresting waves as possible hoping that at least one pic is of […]

About two and half hours along the east coast from Cape Town, through Bredasdorp and along the straight road past the ostriches, is the beautiful seaside town of Arniston – one of my favourite weekend away spots.

After all the sightseeing and culture in Istanbul and Munich, the Swiss leg of our holiday was busy in a very different way. No sooner had we arrived at the amazing Alpine house of a family friend where we were staying near Tomils, than we headed straight back down to the village to rent our […]
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 […]
