6th July, Hermanus to Mossel Bay, Wine tasting & the Southern most flat tire in Africa A new day and a new driver, feeling rested I volunteered my services and ended up to be a quite substantial proportion of our road journey on this day. We woke up in the late morning, besides James who got up early and explored more of Hermanus in the light. James had the tendency through the road trip to wake up before the rest of us have a look around and bring back ...

5th July, Cape Town to Hermanus, The start of the Road Trip! So if you plan on doing a road trip in a foreign country and you don't know your way around, what do you need?

The action really started in the evening as we were due to see the first of two planned games in Cape Town - it was the round of 16 match between Spain and Portugal. We wandered down to t...

27th-28th June, Johnnesburg and Cape Town, Chill explosion, whats his wet stuff falling from the sky, and a touch of history. We packed in the early daylight hours and waited for an airport shuttle that never showed outside Banana before sharing lift with MExican to the airport where we flew back to Johannesburg. Thankfully we decided to stay at a lodge near the irport which meant we didn't have to have an expensive long winded taxi to our lodgings for a change!...
