Western Australia – Ssh, it’s a Secret!
There is something truly extraordinary about Western Australia. A place I could quite easily call home, Western Australia is filled with friendly locals, breathtaking landscapes, beautiful cities, and rugged coastlines, and while I am keen to share my enthusiasm about this destination with other travellers, I love it so much, that I really don’t want…
Guess the Beach and Get a Whole Lot Closer to One!
Today I made the huge mistake of looking for a specific photograph on our backup box. Three hours and around 10,000 photos later, I have just realised that I haven’t done any work this afternoon, and have instead, been around the world at least five times reminiscing about all those wonderful places we have been!…
Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge – A New Cycle Tour, A New Adventure, A New (Zealand) Holiday Destination!
We might not have completed the Cape Argus yet, but my dear beloved has found yet another Cycle Tour that is longer, probably harder, and definitely further away than the one in South Africa, and surreptitiously added it on to our Bucket List when I wasn’t looking! Set in the North Island of New Zealand,…
Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve – Home of the Luxury Safari Holiday
With just five weeks to go until we get on our bikes (literally) and cycle South Africa in the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, I can hardly wait to feel the warm sunshine of the southern hemisphere on my bones after what has been a long, cold, and snow-covered winter in the Austrian…
Romantic Hotels to Spend Valentine’s Day
Whether you love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and if want to impress a loved one this year, why not ditch the oversized valentine’s card and predictable red roses, in favour of a romantic weekend away instead. Most hotels offer Valentine’s packages that combine accommodation with romantic meals, Spa treatments…
WedgeView Country House and Spa – A Piece of Paradise in the Western Cape Winelands
We may still be up to our ears in snow, frost and the icy winds of winter here in the northern hemisphere, but way down below the equator in sunny South Africa, the temperatures are rising to a rather hot and sweaty 38 degrees! Summer has most definitely arrived in the Western Cape, and as…
Mallorca – The Perfect Winter Holiday Destination
You might not automatically think of the Balearic Islands as being the perfect winter holiday destination, but if you are looking for a last-minute getaway from the ice and snow of northern Europe, I can highly recommend these jewels of the Mediterranean Sea! Having just returned from a long weekend on the (admittedly) not-so-sunny Mediterranean…
Touring Chile – Holidays off the Beaten Track & in to Nature
Stretching a whopping 4,300km over half a continent, the remarkable ribbon of land that makes up Chile is literally bursting with deserts, volcanoes, mountains, beaches, vineyards, lakes, and more character and charm than one could ever imagine in one country. A land that shares its long lithe borders with Argentina, Bolivia and Peru, Chile remains…
Countdown to Carnival – 4 Weeks to Go until Brazil gets Bootylicious!
If your idea of a perfect holiday includes hot sunshine, cold Caipirinha’s, endless beaches, and dancing the night away to the sultry sounds of the Samba, it’s time to pack your dancing shoes, your sequined covered maracas, and perhaps, your sense of humour, and head on down to the Carnival capital of the world –…
Awesome Australia – A Holiday Destination of Outback Adventures
If you haven’t returned to work already, chances are you will be heading back to the daily grind tomorrow, and after the fun and festivities of Christmas and New Year, you may be feeling those January blues that seem to appear the moment the Christmas tree comes down. January can be a long cold month…
