Cape Town

Vineyards and The Burned Out Hills In South Africa

We were driven back to Cape Town via a different route. I didn’t mind because if we were to travel on the same route like earlier in the morning – I would freak out 🙂 Imagine going downhill next to a big gorge separated with just a few metres away. Maybe it has no effect […]

This Time It’s The Giraffes and The Hippo!

The day was bright and the sky was so blue with almost no clouds in sight. Although the sky was clear, I was beginning to feel slightly unsure about this safari trip. Now I know that this may sound contradictory to my earlier post referring on how happy I was for this safari adventure but […]
