The coast of Kenya is nothing like I expected. Nothing! But I had no idea what I was expecting – all I know is it excels every conceivable expectation. As we drive along, we head in through a natural reserve and emerge right on the beach, I think how my perception of Kenya was so […]
We have arrived! It has been Kenya all the way, and here is why. The Kenya south coast has been a dream place we have both wanted to visit for a very long time. In fact, both Explorason and I each had our own individual nighttime dream, and saw similarly what we think was the […]
Simba Safari Camp is not what we expected – it was MUCH BETTER! This was not just an African Safari Camp, and it excelled our expectations on every level. Simba Safari Camp states they are budget on their website, so we instantly thought this meant a secondary standard, but everything was just superb! So let us […]
It is time for us to ‘hit the road’, after several weeks volunteering with mission work in remote Uganda. We are excited to see Africa, and I’ve been really brave in what comes next. We have hired a 4WD from a fabulous company called Expedient Car Hire who delivered it right to our hotel, and at […]
Dubai is a city I have always dreamed of visiting, and tonight Explorason gets to dream as he is suspended out over Dubai! Dubai has of course always been known for its incredible evening skyline. A city that comes alive at night and the beauty of the evening sky is mesmerizing. So when we checked into our […]
It seems like more like days, not hours since we left Tunisia. Last night we managed to get a taxi but paid a hefty price, because it is Ramadan in Tunis. They are all eating their “breakfast” meal and so this means that taxis were scarce and more than double the price. After a round-about […]
Nestled along the coast just a few km out from Houmt Souk, on the Island of Djerba in Tunisia, is one of the most unique places we have stayed in on our world journey. Known as Oxala House, it is a Tunisian treasure that is inspired from traditional “Menzels”. It is here that we arrive after a […]
Regency Hotel and Spa is where we have been staying the past few days, and one of the lovely animation team led five of the guests (which included us) for a guided tour of the small city of Monastir. It was a hot day, so we were glad it was only about a 10-minute walk […]
Tunisia. A land where the people smile, the service is amazing, and the shopping is incredible. It is a land where resorts are a destination experience in themselves. Framissima Regency Hotel and Spa is in the heart of the Marina of Monastir, and only 5-10 minutes walking from the town center with its Medina, “Ribat” and the […]
We are about to leave the UK, and I have some great ideas to share with you on affordable ways to enjoy your vacation. We have been in and out of UK over the past year or so, and really love it there. So have gathered some good tips for travelers from abroad that might […]
“Great Scott” is an exclamation of surprise and amazement, and here we are in Edinburgh feeling very surprised and amazed that we are here. We have taken a very fast ride on the East Coast Virgin train from Newcastle, England. We were told by the breakfast lady at the Newcastle Travelodge this was one of […]
Newcastle is quite a happening city now. It is in the north of England, not too far from the border of Scotland. We have just sold our car and have decided to stay on a couple more days, as we want to give Explorason some time to have some fun. The past few weeks have […]
