After a lovely three course freshly cooked breakfast on the deck near the pool, it is time to get our stuff packed and check out. We sit in the shade near the pool, reading, when Ronald shows up to tell us: ‘your friends have just past the gate, they could be here any minute’. We …
Hoedspruit, here we come! After a relative short night, we had a great(!) breakfast, with all sorts of food, warm and cold, from breads, freshly prepared eggs, to fresh fruits and spicy sausages… One plus point for Tsogo Sun! We already had our bags with us, so from the breakfast table, to the reception, checking …
The real warming-up for our trip started, unexpectedly, the day before leaving. We got a message from B. that she was delayed with her flight, and would be stuck in Amsterdam. No worries, we will come and pick you up! So, a guest for the night, is a great excuse for pizza’s and wine and …
Nog één week, en dan gaan we onderweg naar Zuid-Afrika!! We kunnen haast niet wachten of wilde beesten (met de camera natuurlijk… Duh!) te gaan schieten in Kruger Park, en te feesten in Kaapstad! Just one more week, and we are off to South Africa!! We cannot wait to shoot some wild animals (with the …
Friday, last chance to make a trip, and after another beautiful breakfast, we drive in the direction of Shelburne Falls in the Mohawk Trail Region.

So we followed them, and had some great food, together with lots of local, and funny jokes from an …
Last breakfast together, and final packing… And then we had to say goodbye, but not without a promise to plan a next get-together. The S. clan were heading South back to Pittsburgh, while we got on our way to our next stop, up to the I-90, and then in Eastern direction. Ons laatste gezamenlijke ontbijt …
Last day in Mayville! We had a late but lovely breakfast, and decided to go to the Chautauqua Institution. Interesting place, where artists, authors, philosophers, and scientists started a community, to inspire eachother and provide courses during summer. Lovely houses, the Miller Bell Tower, and a small child-friendly beach, where T., D., and G. build …
Saturday morning we are heading for Westfield, about 6 miles North from Mayville, for their Farmer’s and Artisan Market “with lots of breakfast and lunch opportunities” – that’s what the brochure told us. There are fruits, honey, and lots of bakery (the Amish are famous for their pies and chocolate chip cookies), some music (a …
