Kenya has managed to win a HUGE soft spot in my heart! I cannot believe that it took me years of traveling before I landed in this beautiful country. I remember a Facebook friend saying “you have left the best until last” and maybe she was right? Now that I am here, I have realized that there […]
Children ran on the streets rolling tires with sticks, as our tuk-tuk bumped through the dusty dry laneways. Today is our last day in Diani Beach Kenya, and I promised many of you, that we would distribute food to needy families here, and some of you kindly gave towards this. A lot of you have […]
“Mum, Can I do a ‘Go Fund Me’ for Elijah*?” Explorason came in and asked last night. He had been out opening ‘Madafu‘, the young coconuts together with our Askari named Elijah*. Explorason and Elijah* get along well and we often take Elijah* a spare plate of dinner, a nice drink, or a yummy dessert […]

Kids care about the Homeless at Christmas. Now we have returned to our home-town of Adelaide for a while, it is lovely to catch up with friends.

Llangollen Canal Boats Horse Drawn and Aqueduct Today, we wanted to go on a canal boat ride. As we drove into Llangollen the rain and the showers started.

Harlech Castle and Snowdonia Wales We headed out early as we were planning to go up Snowdonia Mountain on a steam train. So we drove to the base town, but when we arrived, the mist was thick. I was told not to bother if it is and to come back another day, so as we […]
Wild Pheasant Hotel and Spa Llangollen Wales Driving into Llangollen just before you reach the town is where we spent the most amazing night at the Wold Pheasant Hotel. We had tried a hostel in town. They had a sign saying call them. Well, we had no phone. We waited and in fact, came back […]
