Away

There’s copious alcohol available as well, which has led to some late nights under the stars, far from the madding crowds and maddening light pollution of [...]

Season’s Greetings (mid to late summer) from Struisbaai, home of the southern hemisphere’s longest stretch of white sand beach, a bewilderingly large variety of birdlife and – for this extended weekend, at least – family 6000. I love the Southern Cape – perhaps because the rolling farmland, rugged coastline and friendly residents remind me of [...]
