South Africa

Screen-Shot-2011-11-22-at-1.38.17-PM-500x375 — Many of you asked us what are favorite places from around the world were.

SONY DSC — When we first arrived at safari, I would say Humpty and I were about 95% excited and 5% scared about going out in an open air jeep in the wilds near Kruger Park in northeast South Africa. The scared part was the unknown. I can’t really say that the ratio […]

photo-12 — Knock knock. “Hello!?”. No response. I bang on the door this time. Still no response. We just arrived at The Robberg House B&B in Plettenberg Bay after driving for six hours from Gansbaai.

I felt a prick in my palm. It was a splinter and I could care less. The wooden floors felt cool on my perspiring skin. I stared-up at the bulbous clouds gliding along the crisp blue sky on my back, and although I couldn’t hear the ocean waves, I knew […]
