Cape of Good Hope
We started the day too early again, this time to take yet another covid test in order to enter Zimbabwe, where we’ll enter the following day. This didn’t prove to be much of a problem, as the tour agency had set up an appointment at the hotel for us. After that, we all got intoContinue reading “Cape of Good Hope”
Ukraine
We are lucky to live the life that we do, and are thankful for it every day. We had been planning to visit Kyiv and Odessa this spring to enjoy the splendor of Ukraine, until we learned that it had been invaded by a foreign power intent on seizing the country for itself. Our heartsContinue reading “Ukraine”

Lovely day in wine country, South Africa
Cape Town
That’s us, sweaty and exhausted, after our hike up to the top of Table Mountain. Seriously, we both thought we were going to die on this hike! We arrived into Cape Town late at night and met our transfer, who took us to the Romney Park hotel. It was a nice suite downtown, with easyContinue reading “Cape Town”

There were a pair of males, but before I managed to get theContinue reading “Kruger Day Two”

As a quickContinue reading “First Day in Kruger”
Hotel Heinitzburg, Namibia
We decided to spend a few days in Windhoek, capitol of Namibia, before our tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana started. We had already spent a couple of days in Johannesburg, but wanted to get another country under our belt if we could, so unwinding and acclimatizing further into our new time zoneContinue reading “Hotel Heinitzburg, Namibia”
Parting Ways
Remember when you used to be able to go to the airport with your spouse/lover/friend and wish them goodbye from the gate? I always enjoyed doing that, along with watching the plane depart and trying to get a last wave goodbye through the window if they were seated on the correct side of the plane.Continue reading “Parting Ways”
Paris
This was our first trip to Paris together, and my first visit altogether, and Paris didn’t disappoint in the slightest. We boarded the high speed train in Marseille and spent just over three hours crossing the entirety of France, and arrived at the Gare de Lyon in the late afternoon. We elected to get aContinue reading “Paris”
