Camino Talk the Walk

I walked a part of the Portuguese Camino.  Enough kilometres to get the certificate.  What an experience.  It was like having a life coach whispering words of encouragement into your ear 24/7.  Only, it was ME doing the talking. And I appreciated my own talk.  Here are some of my notes to self. Sometimes you… Read More Camino Talk the Walk

Sardine Run – Hermanus

I have heard about the sardine run and it’s phenomenal tourism potential from Rainer Schimpf of Expert Tours.  Rainer showed me images of life under water when the sardines huddle together and swim frantically as a pack. This week while waiting in Hermanus New Harbour to go whale watching I saw 2 fishing boats off… Read More Sardine Run – Hermanus

What’s in a name? That which we call a wine.

…By any other name would smell as sweet? When it comes to my neighbourhood wines, names are carefully selected and a perfect representation of the vineyard, property, family and winemaker. A wine label with a good story has my attention in equal measures to the wine.  At the Elim Wine Festival winemaker Conrad Vlok led… Read More What’s in a name? That which we call a wine.

Hello Lisboa #ola

From Cape Town to Luanda.  Luanda to Lisbon.  A good flight with Angola Air,  award winning Portuguese wines and the option of fish with every meal.  Not much to do while in transit but at least the long haul flight is split into two very manageable portions.  Just when you feel the cabin fever coming on… Read More Hello Lisboa #ola

A Tale of Two Peregrinas #6daystogo

Phone calls between my home in Hermanus and that of fellow pilgrim, Brenda, are more frequent and more anxious.  Very relieved to have my passport with the required visa in hand I am horrified that I have only 1 entry to Estados Schengen.  Now I know I will be allowed to set foot in Portugal and… Read More A Tale of Two Peregrinas #6daystogo

My Camino #7daystogo

Great news one week before take-off for Portugal.  My visa has been issued and is ready for collection.  Such a relief to know that my documents are fine and that I’ve been granted official approval to travel to a foreign destination – for the first time in three years!  How did I let this happen?… Read More My Camino #7daystogo

My Camino #8daystogo

The panic today was finding a lightweight sleeping bag.  I am not a happy camper and don’t see any use for a sleeping bag if I can be wrapped up in a fluffy duvet.  But a duvet is big and heavy and I can’t cart it around.  So Cape Union Mart please have a light weight… Read More My Camino #8daystogo

My Camino #9daystogo

Attending a Camino Workshop provided valuable information as to what to pack and how to prepare but as it gets closer to the date of departure the panic is staring to set in.  Lisbon feels far from Cape Town and the reality of travelling light has its challenges.  Also, what can be booked and paid in… Read More My Camino #9daystogo

My Camino #10daystogo

Camino – path or journey.  My journey is a windy and interesting one that goes uphill and then …its a cruise.  So when a friend suggested that we walk the Spanish Camino it felt like something I SHOULD do.  This pilgrimage was for me.  After all I’ve made the emotional journey many times. As a… Read More My Camino #10daystogo

Feel good fynbos flowers. Baardskeerdersbos celebrated the church’s 100 year anniversary. What better way to give thanks than with the local proteas that’s abundant in the Gansbaai-Elim area? #fynbos #localislekker #baardskeerdersbos #overstrand #overberg #bloom #petal #flowers #protea #fresh #countryliving #westerncape #instagood #feelgood #fynbos #nature #naturephotography #pictureoftheday #pic #gansbaai #overstrand #capewhalecoast #grateful #happyplace #gratitude
Whenever I see a fisherman I think of my dad. It was never about the fish but about the connection with the sea. We share that. #memories #sea #fishing #onrus #dad #family #thinkingofyou #ocean #hightide #waves #coast #sunset #capewhalecoast
