Entering Kruger National Park

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 …

JNB -> HDS

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 …

AMS to JNB

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 …

Almost time to go…!

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 …

In de ban van wolken…

Vakantie 2017 is vakantie in eigen land. In de Achterhoek, het coulissenlandschap dat nooit verveelt. We strijken dit jaar neer in Silvolde, waar we een huisje huren op ‘t Meyböske.

A cute little village, famous for “The Bridge of Flowers”, which is unique in the world. In 1929, the original trolley bridge across the Deerfield River, was transformed into a …

A nice and easy trip through the beautiful country, especially the last part throught he scenic backways. Chesterfield is small, and …

Care for a wine, my dear…?

We decided to be ready for breakfast around 8:30, and noticed some other guests walking across the street and to the left, to the bowling centre, which apparently also had a restaurant where breakfast was served. So we followed them, and had some great food, together with lots of local, and funny jokes from an …

Travelling East again…

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 …
