We actually wanted to walk relaxed to an observation point (The Point) for seals and whales. It turned out to be the hardest hike of our lives, including drinking rainwater to...

Today was the last time we went to the beach with the children. Right at the beginning, one of them kicked the football about 3 meters into the water. They called me and asked...

The weather was great again today! After breakfast, I spent some time in the garden trying to get a tan. It still doesn't look like I've been in Africa for almost a month :'D....

Today it was very stormy again! I decided to take a walk on the beach to see the stormy sea. But I didn't want to walk on the tourist beach, but on the adjacent beach, which is...

Today I got up very comfortably again because I didn't have to go to work until 12:30 pm. The weather today is very changeable. In the morning the sun was shining and the sky...

Today I went to Robberg with Sarah and Rouven. The name comes from the hundreds of seals that are spread around the mountain and swim and sunbathe there. The hike is very...

Today I was exploring the area around Cape Town. First stop was Boulders Beach. Here, penguins live and can be admired. The scenery combined with the animals was fantastic. ...

Nice but very hot hike in the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve

After the longest tour through the scorching hot desert, we returned to the sea, to another wonderful accommodation. After a few drinks in 'Ficks Pool', we actually saw our...

Before sunrise, we went deep into the steppe, where after some waiting and spying, Timons actually came out 😍 Actually pretty nasty animals 😅 After that, we went to an ostrich...

After the bush, we drove back to Port Elizabeth. We were a little excited because we didn't know exactly how an inland flight works here. But everything was super relaxed. After...

Today was a cozy day of laziness with a walk to the mini market, of course along the stunning coast that never gets old, a little afternoon nap, and then dinner at the 'Walker...
