I could watch penguins all day every day. Yesterday’s stop at Stony Point penguin colony raised the question - do penguin chicks feel the winter cold? The answer - yes they do! It takes up to 40 days before a chick is ready to keep themselves warm. #penguin #bettysbay #nature #overberg #meetsouthafrica #travel #tour #explore #coastalliving #landscape #seascape
Candi Beach came alive at 6am on Sunday with bathers, food vendors and families honoring Saraswati, Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning. Breakfasted on the best Bakso Ayam Kenyal - chicken rolled in balls served in noodle soup for R15. #candidasa #bali #celebration #streetfood #view #holiday #coast #indonesia #travel #trip #bakso #ayam #breakaway #friedatravels

Weekends in the winelands feel like an extended breakaway. When friends visit, a trip up Hemel-en-Aarde is always on the cards. Winnie, Ilse, Païvi and Melani joined for a taste of Newton Johnson Albariño before an exceptional lunch at Spookfontein paired with Full Moon white blend and Cabernet Franc. From the views to service, architecture, menu, plating and tastes this was a five star eat out experience. #hemelenaarde #winelands #hermanus #daytrip #winery #lunch #architecture #cellar #winetasting #cabernetfranc #blend #capesouthcoast #coastalliving #coast #countrylife #friends #visit #friedatravels #experience #instagood #instago #vin #wine #discover #view #meetsouthafrica
