Our day hopping on and off buses continued after the visit to the Castle of Good Hope. We decided against lunch in the center as we wanted to continue immediately along the Cape Town Blue Mini Peninsula Tour. Instead, we planned to take a lunch break at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden. Cape Town Hop-On Hop-Off –…
This post is about our second day in lovely Cape Town. It was again time to set sail for new adventures. The first stop of the day eventually came to be the Castle of Good Hope. It was not our original plan, but when traveling you never know what will actually happen. The Plan For…
This morning when we woke up the world outside our window was white. Some lazy snow flakes were falling towards the ground. It was the first morning in a long time that the ground was white. Many people think of Sweden as a cold country. Of course it’s true for some parts of the country,…
After a week in Namibia, it was time for the second part of our adventure in Southern Africa. A week in South Africa was on the list and Cape Town was our starting point. We had calculated for three days in Cape Town and it turned out that the city had a lot more to…
During our trip to Namibia and South Africa many people wondered how traveling lightly seemed to be such a piece of cake for us. Two adults and one piece of luggage. Add to that a book bag and a handbag. That’s all you need for 18 days on the other side of the world. At…
All good things must come to an end and our final full day in Namibia eventually arrived. Now it was time to figure out how to spend a day in Windhoek? We decided to make life as simple as possible and drove to the city center for some sightseeing. The city of Windhoek might be…
On our way back to Windhoek after our stay in Otjiwarongo, we first stopped in Omaruru and later on in Karibib. You can read more about these places in our previous blog post. After a very short stop in Karibib, we continued onward toward Windhoek, but we did decide to make a short visit to the…
Welcome November! November is probably the rainiest month of the year – at least here in Sweden. Now we are in the weeks when the Christmas lights are not yet brightening the streets and people are incredibly tired. I’m seriously considering the possibility of converting myself into a Moomin and sleep until March. So, what better…
After three nights in Otjiwarongo, it was eventually time to head back towards Windhoek. Driving back the same way as we had arrived didn’t seem so interesting. Instead, we looked at other options and were recommended to go via a town called Omaruru, 140 kilometers away. As there were some sights to see in the town…
At this time of the year here in Sweden, there is a great need to take advantage of the few days that actually offer some sunshine. Especially when those days happen to occur during the weekend. There will be few possibilities in the coming months to enjoy outdoor activities in daylight after work. As we…
We were once more up early after the failed attempt to go to the Etosha National Park the previous morning. Again we were awake at 5 p.m. and excited about going to see some animals. We were also nervous, would our guide really be feeling well enough today to go? Time went by and we were…
We were lucky to see quite a lot of animals during our time in Namibia. There were warthogs and baboons along the roads. In Etosha National Park we encountered rhinos, oryx and elephants around the waterholes. But nowhere did we get as close to the animals as we did during our visit to the Cheetah…
