Kampala An experience

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 […]

Falling Into Fall

Swellendam

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 […]
