My top 10 holiday memories

May 6, 2012 by • Travel, Uncategorized • Tags: • 3 Comments

As you’d know by now, more than anything else, I am passionate about travelling. I look forward to it every year. I love seeing how the “other side” lives. Eating local food, shopping up a storm, and attempting to speak in a broken foreign language all add to the excitement. I’d happily go without other […]

Mount Grace Bloggers Weekend

April 22, 2012 by • Magaliesburg, Travel • Tags: • 5 Comments

I had such a divine weekend. I was invited to the 5 star Mount Grace Country House and Spa in the Magaliesburg for a Bloggers weekend. Before I even start telling you what I got up to, I have to tell you a bit about Mount Grace. It’s situated an hour away from JHB in […]

This past weekend, I was invited to go to Irene Country Lodge on a site visit to experience it. WHAT a treat. I’m a a big fan of driving an hour or so out of JHB and feeling like you’re miles away. Irene Country Lodge is in Centurion, about 25 minutes aways from my house […]

I wouldn’t call myself a seasoned traveller, but I do try and go on one international and one local holiday every year. I save for holidays and they are the only thing that get me through work. I’m all for saving for houses, cars and investments and all the other wise uses of money, but […]

Mauritius- Day 5

Our final full day had arrived.We decided to spend the whole day out at the East islands off Mauritius.We started out on a speed boat (totally exhilarating and fun!) and we headed out to Blue Bay. This is a natural marine park and is apparently the BEST place in all of Mauritius to do snorkelling.The […]

Mauritius- Day 3 and 4

February 7, 2012 by • Mauritius, Travel • 1 Comment

We had a tour of the South planned for Day 3. We started off by visiting a ship model factory. I was amazed at how hard the people have to work. It takes days to make a ship, and they can’t even sell them for that much.  Lady doing embroidery on the sails Painting   […]

Mauritius- Day 2

February 5, 2012 by • Mauritius, Travel • 0 Comments

After a great night’s sleep, we woke up super early and went for a swim in one of the 2 massive pools. It’s probably close to 25 degrees at 8 in the morning, so it’s such a relief to jump into a cool pool. After that, we headed to breakfast. Again, an incredible spread of […]

Mauritius- Day 1

One of my favourite blogs to follow is Bailey Schneider (from 94.7).Check her blog out at http://baileyschneidersblog.blogspot.com/Her post about Mauritius actually inspired me to book my own holiday- it was the push I needed. She split her Mauritius holiday into different blog posts, and I think I am going to do the same because I don’t want you […]

Bushbabies Monkey Sanctuary

I know I’ve been blogging alot about Hartbeespoort lately, it’s just coincidental that I’ve been going there pretty often.The day after my birthday we went to the Bushbabies Monkey Sanctuary, in Harties.It’s a lush forest, where small monkeys are “dehumanised”. 95% of the monkeys come from homes, and when they get too big, people discard them […]

First of all, happy new year!I hope it’s a fantastic one 🙂 I turned 26 on the 30th of December, and this was the first birthday where I wasn’t overly excited. I think it’s an age thing, I’m headed for my 30s now!My hubby made it super special for me. Then, I was woken up […]

South America

December 29, 2011 by • South America, Travel • 0 Comments

We had a fabulous 2 week long honeymoon in South America. I’ve been wanting to blog about it for a while, but I knew it would be a long blog so I needed to have adequate time. We flew SAA. I really would NOT recommend them for international flights. The food is barely edible and the […]

Hartbeespoort

We don’t often realise that it takes a 45 min drive out of JHB to make you feel like you’re in another city. I went to Hartbeespoort last weekend and the weekend before. 2 weeks ago I went on a teambuilding with my work colleagues which was just awesome. We went to a lion park […]
