Cape Town in March

Cape Town in March is beautiful and most probably one of the better times to be in the Mother City.  The days are warm and full of promise, the ideal weather for a weekend of wine tasting. If you are a lover of wine and history then Solms Delta should be on your top 10 wine farms to see. They have a wonderful heritage museum http://www.solms-delta.co.za/heritage/museum-van-de-caab/  that gives you insight into the early developments in the Cape.  The service is excellent and the staff are an absolute pleasure to work with.  We sampled their wine in the comfort of the garden taking in the beauty of the farm; I found my delight in a bottle of Cape Jazz Shiraz, needless to say I took a few bottles home.
 




They also have a great band  

Franschoek for Lunch.

when the wine runs dry use the bottles to light up your room - Light fixture using wine bottles

 Cape Jazz Shiraz being shared in Jo'burg with friends.

White Water Tubing in Hazyview Mpumalanga


The adventure will always find you if you seek it.
Going down stream...no turning back now.

Ever fancied White water rafting? Well White water tubing is the crazier sister who thinks a whistle, a man screaming "weg van die klippe af" will leave you with a greater high than the comfort of being in a rubber duck with other fellow "sailors"

Sometimes you just have to jump.

You sail by your lonesome self sans a paddle as your arms and body become your navigation systems.  You need to remain relaxed at all times this way you steer your tube better.  This is easier said than done but once you get inside it’s the exhilarating feeling that takes over, that unexpected rush that consumes us when we have to make sure that we survive the ride.


After Jumping off a 12m Cliff you need to document your survival in full view of the cliff and waterfall !

Bloem-Freezing-Tein - Hanging out in Bloemfontein in the middle of Winter ?

I am not a fan of winter,  in fact I dislike it immensely... but I like having a good time no matter where I go, no matter how cold it is.  Emoya Estate in Bloemfontein turned out to be the perfect place for my little winter adventure.  A game farm that has everything from a potbelly pig named Atilla to the wild spitting Lama's that I had never seen before in my life.  I was excited for days in fact I was putting most Chinese tourists to shame with the amount of pictures I was taking. 

Winter madness, lifting my spirits with some fun and cheer before I head out to Bloem.

A bit like life, not centred, striking with a bit of shade.
Its a Rhino...No wait! Its 2 Rhino's! Always an amazing creature to see and come up close to.
Live, Love ,Laugh ad most importantly dream Big!

Sitting on a Hill watching the sunset with a game ranger, red wine in hand to keep the evenings icy grip at bay.  Coversation -amazing, sunset even better.
