Read all about our travels! For us, traveling is a hobby, a passion, a way of life. Here you can join us on our adventures in Europe, Africa, North America, South America, and Asia. We have been to many countries, but there are still many left on our list. Not only do we write about the places we have been to. We also want to share tips and travel inspiration with you. Come along as we travel the world!
As always, we appreciate your comments. And remember, let us know if you have any questions!
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…
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…
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…
We did not know what to expect that morning at Arebbusch Guest Lodge after our first night in Namibia. It was time to head north. It was especially time to start discovering what Namibia had to offer. The stop for the coming three nights was Otjiwarongo, 250 kilometers north of the capital Windhoek. The Drive…
In the previous post about our trip to the southern countries of the African continent, we were about to leave Johannesburg. It was time to catch a flight to the capital of Namibia, Windhoek. This is how you pronounce it in case you want to know: /ˈvɪnt.hʊk/ Flying to Namibia There are several daily flights from…
Uppsala is probably the student capital of Sweden and maybe Scandinavia. However, there are more than only students in the city, even though they play a big part in everything that goes on. After all, Uppsala University is the oldest center for higher education in Scandinavia. You will find Uppsala less than an hour’s drive…
The first stop on our trip down to Southern Africa was the largest city in South Africa – Johannesburg. It is a city we had heard a lot about in advance – with stories ranging from almost lyrical to quite unflattering. However, we were certain that we had an interesting destination to look forward to!…
