It is now quite some time since we got back home from our trip to Southern Africa. Although reality and normal life are getting the best of us, we can look back at the memories. We enjoyed an amazing trip that included stops in 3 different countries – Qatar, Namibia […]
Our final whole day in South Africa had finally arrived after little more than two weeks. 16 days earlier we had left Sweden and we were now heading towards Port Elizabeth International Airport. The flight for the day was going to take us to Johannesburg where we would spend one last […]
Our journey eventually started to reach its end and it was time for us to leave Plettenburg Bay and drive to the east. Fortunately we still had two more days before it was time for us to start the trip back home to Sweden. It was the 15th day of […]
After a night in charming Swellendam it was time to continue toward the east. It was this day that we would enter the Garden Route. This is a route that stretches from Mossel Bay in the west to Storm River in the east. It passes through towns such as George, […]

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 an amazing scenery. We stopped for a short time on a hill overlooking Muizenberg […]
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 […]
Our third day in Cape Town was another morning full of excitement. It was time for a tour to the 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 […]
