Coping with public and private transport since 2001
We woke up on Tuesday to a foggy, hazy day with the smell of bushfire strong in the air. We woke up really early as we wanted to be at the gate of iSimangaliso park when it opened. At 6AM. We were hoping to see some animals still on our wishlist, like the Elephant and the Leopard. Starting early might

It is a great day to explore iSimangaliso Wetland Park, also known as St Lucia Wetlands. We start off at the town of St Lucia and drive
Continue readingSunday we started off with the last of our fantastic breakfasts at Nxala Ranch. With our stomachs filled to the brim we headed out on what would be a long trip east. Towards St Lucia! The weather took a turn for the worse overnight, it was sunny with temperatures up to the low 30s on the day before, but today

The Strip actually is really long but has no official boundaries. It is however said to run roughly between the Stratosphere Hotel on the northern edge and the Las Vegas
Continue readingAfter sleeping in to get over the previous day, we headed off for our first full day at Sin City. And what a day it was going to be. We booked tickets for a show of Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand hotel, and we were supposed to pick them up at the box office there. As we intend
