Thursday, January 31st, 2008Could the writing be on the wall for low cost airlines operating out of the UK and other European countries as the Conservative Party - once a campaigner and implementer of lower taxes - has called for purchase tax to be introduced to domestic flights?
The tax would add up to 17.5 per cent on to the cost of a flight from one British city to another, but while flights to the European mainland and popular holiday islands such as Menorca aren’t specifically mentioned, one travel company believes the new policy will inevitably lead to higher fares for flights not just within Britain, but elsewhere too.
Amatola Hike - Eastern Cape - One Of The Most Scenic Mountain Areas In Southern Africa
Thursday, January 31st, 2008The Eastern Cape is the second largest of South Africa’s nine provinces, the diverse Eastern Cape landscape ranges from the dry desolate Great Karoo to the steamy forests of the Wild Coast and the Keiskamma Valley. The area also embraces the fertile Langkloof, renowned for its rich apple harvests, and is cradled by the mountainous southern Drakensberg.

Here, widespread hills are juxtaposed with sandy beaches; here small-town South Africa comes to greet you – gently offering hospitality and friendship and asking for nothing in return. This is where the `big seven’ roam, and where the tropical forests share their space with abundant birdlife and nature at its most generous.
Bora Bora - The Beautiful
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Poking his head out of the hatch, the salty blast of breeze slaps her captain in the face. Laden with moisture it fingers his face, threatening rain. Lead like, the southern sky is an endless flat grey expanse from the horizon up. Either she is sailing into a weather system, or it is another local anomaly. Running a printout from the weather fax shows no major system in their slice of the ocean. Remembering a similar situation on the run down to the Tuamotus’ when she lost her shroud, her crew take a reef into her mainsail just to be sure. Mid afternoon sees the cloud shredding into blue, and, with the sun streaming through, the breeze frees again to the ‘Trades’. Her crew shake out the reef and in no time at all she is barrelling along again in fine style, at her customary seven to eight knots. Her waterline, scrubbed before leaving Raiatea, has the water bubbling gaily along her sleek, fulsome waist and sides – she feels great.

Pop Up Campers - Pros And Cons
Thursday, January 31st, 2008As a young man I can remember the pop up camper that my family had. There were 5 of us and we would go out and use it once a month in good weather. Yeh, it was musty smelling and had a few pieces of duct tape here and there, but it is one of my fondest memories as a kid. That is why I chose to carry on the tradition with my kids. Except that this time around there were more things to be concerned about other then if we packed enough fruit pies or not. There is towing, maintenance, packing, weight distribution, so on and so forth. Here are a few things I learned about popup campers 30 years later.
Travel Agent
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Life indeed has become extremely busy these days as a result people rarely get time to rejuvenate themselves.

A Pact Trip - Kruger Park Safaris
Thursday, January 31st, 2008On our way to Mpumalanga for a well deserved break, Bronwyn, Ryno and I decided that we were going on a road trip. We wanted to experience a Kruger Park safari. We were headed from Cape Town to the Kruger National Park where we were going to stay for three nights at the Phumulani lodge. Now some might say that we were absolutely crazy, but that’s what we’ve always done: unplanned road trips and outings that never go according to plan, but somehow always worked out and worth every minute.
