African Penguins at Boulders Beach

Posted On 2017-01-312017-01-29 By Suneecomment

African penguins, formerly known as jackass penguins for the distinctive braying sound they make, are probably some of the cutest wildlife you’ll get to spot in South Africa. We never miss the chance to spend some time with these little monochrome charmers, so of course we had to stop at Boulders Beach when last we were […]

Picture-Perfect Hout Bay

Posted On 2017-01-252017-01-25 By Suneecomment

Seagulls squawk overhead and the salty tang of an ocean breeze tints the air. Gareth and I are sitting at a seafood shop at the harbour in Hout Bay, one of the many small towns that dot the Cape Peninsula just outside of Cape Town. This is surely one of the most picturesque of them […]

A Visit to Beautiful Kirstenbosch Gardens

Posted On 2017-01-172017-02-13 By Suneecomment

“There it is! There’s the boomslang!” It’s not every day that I’m excited about a tree snake, and this day is no exception. The Boomslang is not some slippery cold thing with a forked tongue come to haunt my waking hours, but rather the name of the tree canopy walkway at Kirstenbosch Gardens, Cape Town’s […]

A Day Trip to Robben Island

Posted On 2016-10-062016-10-06 By Sunee2 Comments

Seasick and swaying slightly from the rough crossing, we were hustled onto a bus the moment we set foot at the docks of the infamous Robben Island, with hardly any time to look at the series of placards explaining the former prison island’s history. Apparently we weren’t going to get a chance to explore by […]

Seascapes, Portuguese Explorers and… Ostriches

Posted On 2012-08-182017-01-26 By Suneecomment

Gareth and I spent a blustery August morning exploring Cape Point and its surroundings inside the Table Mountain National Park just outside of Cape Town. I can definitely recommend this outing if you’re a nature lover. While we climbed up to the lighthouse and then, legs quivering like jelly, spent the rest of the morning […]

To the Lighthouse

Posted On 2012-08-132017-01-26 By Suneecomment

“This was not a good idea.” I’m only halfway up the mountain, my legs are killing me and already I’m holding my breath when people pass me on their way down so they won’t hear me wheezing in agony. Yes, I’m vain enough not to want random strangers who I will never see again think I’m […]

Travellers x2: Whale Watching Weekend

Posted On 2010-09-162017-06-06 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 […]

Cape Town in a Whirl

Posted On 2010-09-132017-06-06 By Sunee1 Comment

After our stopover at Betty’s Bay, we continued along the scenic R44 on our way to Cape Town. We were undecided on how to best use the few hours we had before we had to head back to the airport – we wanted to visit some friends we hadn’t seen in a while, but since […]

No Road Rage in the Cape Peninsula

Posted On 2010-09-092017-06-06 By Suneecomment

I consider myself to be a very good driver (don’t we all?), but I’ll be the first to admit that if there’s one virtue I have not been blessed with, it’s patience. Especially after 16:00 on the N1 when stuck in the fast lane behind someone with a foreign province number plate (you know who […]

A Visit to Stony Point Penguin Colony

Posted On 2010-09-062017-06-06 By Suneecomment

On our way back from Hermanus to Cape Town last weekend, Gareth and I opted to take the more scenic R44 route, which winds along the coast with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. We happened upon a small holiday town called Betty’s Bay. While most people come to this area to admire the exquisite […]
