Pristine sandy beaches, vibrant city life, dramatic landscape, history in abundance, wine and wildlife, is there anything I have missed out? Probably. Cape Town is one of the most richly diverse cities in the world. Whether you’re simply stopping off for a few days before heading down the garden route or spending your entire holiday here, there is something to keep everyone entertained. I found out a bit more about Cape Town before I went my having a perusal of mydestination.com/capetown.
The first thing I wanted from my holiday was relaxation, I’d decided not to stay by the waterfront but around the coast in Camps Bay, so stunning beach and chilled cafes were Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →
During my travels, I have only had one day visiting vineyards and wineries. I blogged about it my time in these Australian wineries previously. While I only spent one day visiting them, I visited around 7. This included a chocolate tasting place and a beer brewery too. One great thing about them is they are often closely located, and you get to try awesome new things. I didn’t know I liked Rye Whisky for example, but after trying it at one of them I’m a big fan now.
Sydney is a place that evokes the mind. Ask someone about Sydney and they’ll conjure up the infamous Opera House beneath blue skies and backed by the outstanding harbour Bridge, all brimming with happy, tanned people and more culture and shops than you can shake a stick at. Sounds too good to be true, but Sydney delivers.
Another Street performance right next to the tap dancing painter was this man who dressed fully in silver managed to manipulate a glass orb in ways I’ve never seen before. Probably the most unique street performance I’ve ever seen, it got better as it went on and I have the start to finish here!
This is guest post. It’s that time of year. Getting out of bed in the morning is a feat, our breaths are visible in the crisp early morning air and scarves are coming down from the top of the cupboard. For most of us in Australia, it’s chilly. It’s also the time of year when across the seas, in the fair skied Europe, things are heating up and an atmosphere of ‘we made it’ starts to emerge. The good news is, a seat on a bargain flight is all you need to lift the sentence of short days and blistering cold and darkness, and bare your limbs to the sun.
If you need any reason to get overseas sometime in the next few months, here they are, along with some suggestions on where you’ll find your best summer yet!
Long days: We get long days in Australia in the summer but for seriously long days or days that never end, Europe (especially very far north) is the place to go. With the added bonus of clear pearly skies, summer evening kickbacks can last forever. In Paris it often doesn’t get completely dark until at least 11pm, so you’ve got endlessly long French evenings to enjoy fine company, great food and wine, and blissful weather.
