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!
When leaving Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope we had only traveled half the distance for the day. We still had the whole way back to Cape Town ahead of us before the tour with Carlos would end. The main stop on the return route was Chapman’s Peak Drive, another place that certainly offers…
The tour around the Cape Peninsula with Carlos had so far included seals, penguins and a few glasses of wine. The wine glass would remain empty the rest of the day, but there were going to be more sights of animals. The Cape Point itself had a few close encounters to offer as well as…
It was finally time for the penguins at Boulders Beach. Susann had been looking forward to seeing the penguins since we left Sweden and she was quite excited about this place. The drive from Groot Constantia offered amazing scenery. We stopped for a short time on a hill overlooking Muizenberg and could see the beach stretching…
The Cape Point tour with Carlos Links continued from Mariners Wharf to the other side of the cape. This is usually not the way of doing the tour but on this very day one of the roads was closed and it would not open until in the afternoon. So we crossed the cape with the thought…
It’s Sunday night and all I can say is wow – what a week! I’m feeling quite lazy after an eventful week in two beautiful Nordic capitals. This week we had our kitchen fixed, Stockholm drowned in snow, and I also paid a quick visit to Helsinki. Oh, and I probably don’t need to mention…
Our third day in Cape Town was another morning full of excitement. It was time for a tour to Cape Point, with several interesting sights on the way. There was a promise of seals, penguins, great sights, and a lot more. The first stop was going to be the Mariner’s Wharf and a chance to go…
We left the Cape Town Blue Mini Peninsula Tour at the V&A Waterfront. It was soon time to relax with a nice dinner at one of the seafood restaurants that we had found the previous night. But before that, we decided to see some sea creatures as well. Until now we had mainly seen animals…
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…
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…
