Taking It Slow at the Slow Food Market

Posted On 2016-03-30 By Sunee2 Comments

“Look at all those cars parked by there? Must be something going on.” Gareth points out the window as we drive through the streets of Stellenbosch in our rental car. “Could it be the cheese and wine festival?” my mother asks from the back seat. I turn off the main road and park the car […]

Cape St Francis – Soul’s Retreat

Posted On 2016-03-252016-03-24 By Suneecomment

Seagulls soaring overhead, waves crashing on the rocks, cold sea spray on bronzed skin, the salty taste of the ocean on our tongues, and a lighthouse towering above us. This is my quintessential memory of Cape St Francis, a place of the heart, as I’ve written before. We’re fortunate in the fact that my father […]

Breaching Whales in Hermanus Harbour

Posted On 2016-03-222016-03-22 By Suneecomment

Hermanus has become an annual trip for us. We go every year around August or September to see the southern right whales as they come to calve and mate in the waters of this seaside town in the Western Cape in South Africa. We have never been disappointed. 2014’s trip was especially memorable, because although […]

Travellers x2: Ciao Italy 2014

Posted On 2016-03-182017-01-25 By Suneecomment

When two people are travelling together, there are bound to be some things that the one didn’t enjoy quite as much as the other one. I think it’s a good idea to reflect on the trip afterwards, to learn from possible mistakes and to better plan for the next one. So… the verdict is out […]

Celebrating My Birthday in the Vatican City

Posted On 2016-03-15 By Suneecomment
St-Peters-Basilica-Vatican-City

Milestone birthdays should be celebrated, the more spectacular the better. If, like me, you exist in a Peter Pan-like state, it’s best to forget about your age and rather focus on a wonderful experience. For that reason I had decided to spend my 35th birthday in Italy and, more specifically, I wanted the day to […]

Our Five Favourite Fountains in Rome

Posted On 2016-03-082016-03-12 By Suneecomment

There are perhaps as many as a thousand fountains spread out all across Rome, according to the Inguide to Rome. They were once ancient shrines to water nymphs, but nowadays locals and tourists alike come to quench their thirst at the cool mountain waters still transported via aqueduct to the city. Some of the fountains […]

Scammed in the Borghese Gardens

Posted On 2016-03-032017-01-25 By Suneecomment

The Inguide to Rome calls the Borghese gardens a “splendid park” and “one of the most beautiful parks in Rome”. True as that may be, our memories of it have been forever tainted by the scammers that prey on gullible tourists underneath its green boughs. Now, we’re South Africans and pretty used to warding off […]

A Musical Interlude at the Pantheon in Rome

Posted On 2016-03-01 By Suneecomment

Isn’t it wonderful when travel serendipity conspires to bring you an unexpectedly memorable day? Gareth and I had such a day when we visited the Pantheon while in Rome during a three-week trip to Italy. Not only did we get to see one of the oldest temples in the Eternal City, another relic from Emperor Hadrian’s […]
