Top Water Activities to Enjoy and Items to Bring on Your Costa Rica Vacation

April 13, 2018 by Derrick M1 Comment

Many of us are naturally drawn to the water.

Can’t take the heat? Here’s how to cope on your travels

April 12, 2018 by Kenneth BarkerLeave a Comment

If you're caught moaning about the heat in some far-flung destination, you're often scoffed at. Accusations that you're "never happy" or that it's "alright for some" assume you're exaggerating, ungrateful or simply boasting when you dare to label a city or country "too hot" for you. Even the most seasoned travellers sometimes deal with discomfort in new environments - after all, not everybody was born to withstand incredibly hot temperatures. But … [Read more...]

Dizzying heights and Robot Wars in Dazzling Tokyo

From the moment I stepped foot in Narita airport in Tokyo, I fell in love with Japan and its … [Read more...]

At the Edge of Africa : Cape Agulhas.

April 5, 2018 by Pete MartinLeave a Comment

I have hired a car for the day. Early on a Sunday morning it’s quiet and once out of Cape Town the roads are emptier still. I take the main road, the R316, in a south-east direction. The countryside is deserted apart from the odd group of cattle or sheep out on the rolling yellow fields. The terrain becomes mountainous as I pass Napier and strangely in Bredasdorp I am welcomed to Agulhas, even though it’s another thirty-five kilometres … [Read more...]
