Things are going to be worse before they improve. Air Canada has announced it will cancel over 150 flights a day in July and August. “Regrettably, things are not business as usual in our industry globally, and this is affecting our operations,” Air Canada president Michael Rousseau stated in an email sent to customers to announce the cutbacks in flight. What […]
On the other hand, good news is that a lot of people have been able to overcome their fear of traveling during the pandemic. They are waiting for a day where they can travel to other locations, or meet loved ones they’ve not seen in during the past 30 months. Reward travel is a term invented to describe people’s desire to travel following […]
Mine Cart Rally was a fun event. Music was fabulous with Creedence Clearwater Collective, just like it was Creedence and the singer sounded like John Fogarty, we just loved it and then later in the evening were the Wet Whistles…. could not believe the fabulous music we had til 11pm at night all for $15 but you know mining is […]
I booked a walking tour on Tripadvisor yesterday. Along with an experienced female guide. Faridausi, as well as Glyn, made an arrangement for an Uber to take her to town. The tour guide was 20 minutes behind, but that in Uganda, this is normal and is not worthy of an apology. First stop: a monument that depicted Edward Mutesa, the […]
I’m still driving the South African Garden Route, the first part of the epic Cape Town to Johannesburg adventure starting, that is, from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. I drove on following my whale-watching excursion in Hermanus and experienced many more driving days – I’m sure there will be many more to come since South Africa is such a […]

Start getting your gear in gear. We’ll be leaving on the 25th of September. Lulu will be carrying out her regular job of checking in […]

Since we’ve become leaner in our weight, a day off is not a time when we are able to rest. We had a delicious morning breakfast in The Plaza, where we tried various breakfast choices. The variety and quantity of cheeses were impressive, and so were the sorts of bread. There were a variety of spreads (olives, nuts, walnuts, peppers, […]
It was raining as we left Boschendal. The weather continued to worsen as we approached the N1, where visibility was only 50 yards. We decided to pay the fee and then take the motorway that goes via the Huguenot tunnel, which is three miles long. It’s a better alternative to the 11 miles that wind that run through the old […]
