The last day of our amazing 3 day trip up to Victoria Falls started out with an early cup of coffee in bed with the last of the biscuits. It was so great that they got replaced every day and not one day did we ever try the same flavours. I remember getting up every …
We woke up on Day 2 of our journey and when I say “woke up” I do mean this very figuratively; as we didn’t really sleep very much. Which we kind of knew would happen, so at least we were prepared. It was nice to be able to make a nice cup of tea with …
I can’t tell you how long I’ve had “Go on a luxury train trip” on my bucket list, because I can’t honestly remember. All I know is, it feels like it’s been my whole life. I remember watching movies where the main characters were jet-setting around the world and sleeping on trains as they went …

I’ve always loved getting my nails done, the occasional facial and getting a full body massage; so when I heard that Bayete Estate was having a winter special this year, I just had to book it for Luch and I. Luckily Luch loves getting a massage, so I just had to convince him on the …

I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard the phrase “Let’s spend a weekend in the country, or let’s go to the country” in British series and movies more times than I can remember. Living in South Africa, this phrase never really made sense to me. That was, until two weekends ago when we decided …
It feels like months since the last time I had anything to write about. Well, it is either that or the fact that I felt incredibly down after not even getting in with a chance for my dream job in Europe. I tried to be so positive and really thought that I had a chance, …
By this point, all the days were definitely starting to blur together and I wasn’t entirely sure where would end up sleeping for the night. After our 3 nights in Kruger, we got complimentary accommodation at a lodge in Hoedspruit which was just amazing. Huge double bed and so wonderful to once again have an …
