I am sitting here it is 20h15, I just tucked kids to bed.  Cullo is at church.  I needed to drown my sorrows.  So I reached out to my laptop, the joys of being a bloger.  Ha!. Today I did a mistake, I hit a send button too soon.  Oops!.  I sent an email requesting a quote from a crontacor.  And guest what was attached?.  The design drawings for a system I am requesting a quote for and a budget I sent to a client.  That means the contractor have seen the budget for a job.  After mourning for about an hour I said […]

When is the good time to visit Cape Town with kids…

It all started with a message saying “…When is the good time to visit Cape Town”. My answer was if you want to catch the ZA festive vibe, visit in the beginning of December to the first week of January. There are lots of people at the tourist attraction places and it is all fun. BUT visiting with kids I will choose two weeks after festive craziness. To my delight they chose the latter. I was looking forward to play a tourist guide. It was very easy to prep a schedule given that they have two kids. I also have […]

Redstone Hills is the name of collection of cottages situated at the Hills that are redish in color. The highlight of this area is the landscapes. It is tranquil. We rented a two bedroom cottage.  We stayed at Vineyard cottage. Our cottage was built in the 19th century.  They tried to keep the cottage in its original state.  It felt amazing to stay in a place with so much history. We kicked off our with a drive to town. Our holiday cottage was 30 km away from nearby town- Oudtshoorn. Initially we planned to do some touring in town but after […]

Redstone Hills – Buffelskloof farm Vacay Part 1

Who else cannot stand the ‘I am bored mommy’ talk from the kids during school holidays?.  My hand is up. Last week Saturday we packed the kids and drove 6 hours to this beautiful place – Redstone Hills in Oudtshoorn.  The journey was excellent.  Both of our kids are excellent little-travelling-buddies. We took Route 62 instead of our normal N1 route.  I am sure every body has heard about or has experienced  the vibe on Route 62.  Believe me when I say the vibe is strong.  The vibe on this route makes me to just want to be out of control.  You know the feeling […]

Safari in Africa-Luangwa 2

(December Update) Excuse me in advance for being too wordy. I want to safely bottle the phenomenal moments we experienced so that I can relieve them many years to come when I read this post. Continuing from the Safari in Africa-Luangwa 1 here, we woke up with raw energy from sleeping so close to nature (I mean we slept with a lizard hunting in our room, ha!). We had breakfast a bit late (with kids it was expected). Our tour guide or game ranger joined us for meals. I liked the idea. That means for the 4 nights of our […]
