When the book, Wild, came out by Cheryl Strayed I was anxious to read it. If you haven’t read it, or at least seen the movie with Reese Witherspoon, you should. I really liked the book and I felt for Cheryl as she was dealing with her mother’s sudden and devastating death from cancer.…
Shamwari Game Reserve After a long hiatus to become accustomed to real life and going to work, I`m back! I hope you like the new format and title of the blog. I tried to make it more user- friendly, but decided I need to take a class in blog appearance and marketing before it becomes…
Day Ten: Birds and Monkeys! This was my absolute favorite day of the trip so far. This morning we continued along the Garden Route on our way to Tsitsikamma National Park.

Day Four: The Cape Winelands Sadly, the next day we had to leave Cape Town. I could have stayed another week and still wanted to stay longer. There is so much to do there and the landscape is so beautiful. There was also a lot of shopping to do that we never got around to.…

The peninsula has very scenic coastline and several cute little seaside towns like Camp´s…
