Hello everyone!  

We hope you had a great Easter weekend and are ready for summer.  With the recent snowfalls for our friends and family in Canada, it may not feel like summer is ready for you.

We just hit our 6 year mark in the Middle East and are still loving every bit of it!  Hard to believe it has been 6 already.

Most COVID restrictions have now lifted, which is great news for people like us who want to travel more and not have the hassles and restrictions!  Dangerous on the pocket book however!

Some news we are so excited about...we are getting our first visitor to Saudi!!!  Our friend Anita will fly back with us from Canada in July, get to experience our Saudi life for a couple weeks, and then will join us in Africa.  You can not even imagine how pumped we are to host our first guest here!!!

This blog shares some of our spring 2022 highlights - Dubai a couple of times, an awesome T&A trip to Cabo San Lucas, Miami, and lots of fun in Saudi & Bahrain.

Enjoy the pics and videos...

We had a great time bringing in New Years in Bahrain.  We did a brunch at McGettigans with friends Devin & Michelle.  Food and drinks were flowing....a great way to kick off 2022 in style!

Spring in the Middle East is beautiful weather so it's nice to get out and enjoy times with friends.  Here are pics from some brunches, and amazing hat, an outdoor nursery in Saudi, and cuddles with the cat!

We went to Dubai for a long weekend in January and had an amazing weekend.
​
The weekend started off with a rooftop patio, dinner and drinks with friends Nigel & Jayne.  Once again, it is amazing how you meet the best people.  Met them at a Maldives resort in October 2020 and have been able to connect a few times since.  Great people with amazing stories after living in the Middle East for 20+ years!

We spent a day at the Expo 2020 - amazing job with this Dubai!  WOW!  Incredible pavilions from every country - the architecture is stunning.  The place is massive (check the video below) so could not even come close to seeing everything.  Had to come back for another day - see the March section in this blog.

We went out for a brunch at STK...quite possibly the best brunch we have ever been to - great food and drinks and an awesome vibe!  After that, we met up with friends Frank & Sherri (Americans in Dubai) and ran into Gabriel & Dorina (met them on the Croatia cruise in 2021...they are a fun couple from Montenegro).

​Dubai...we can't get enough of you!

T&A 2022 went back to where it all started...Cabo San Lucas on the west side of Mexico at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula (south of California).  Our hotel was the Riu Palace Baja California.

2022's cast of characters included us, Mark & Gayle, Meghan & Joe, Marilyn, and a newcomer - Marilyn's sister Stephanie.  
There was also a special guest appearance by Kevin, better known as "KP", who we both worked with in Winnipeg.  Great to see him again after many years!  For anyone who was at our wedding 15 years ago in the Dominican, you will most likely remember KP as the person giving my aunts "sexy rides" in the pool.

There were the usual shenanigans - pool drinks, dance parties, Super Bowl parties, threats from security after "borrowing" a bike, and crashing a wedding.  Well, actually crashing the first dance.  Whoops.  

We did a fun excursion - whale watching, boat trip, pub crawl in Cabo, and then a few beach bars, before a rowdy water taxi ride back to our hotel (check the video below for some Grammy award winning performances).

Once again, the bartender foiled any sexy Valentine's Day plans by getting Lisa drunk.  She went to "sleep" early so Jeff flew solo for Valentine's Day dinner....or did he?  
​Luckily, he found a date (a huge piece of bark from a palm tree) that Joe brilliantly named "Leafsa".  So Leafsa joined Jeff for dinner, did a photo shoot with her new man, and had shots with Steph (video is below).  Lisa was quite surprised to wake up with Leafsa cuddled up next to Jeff.  If I recall, the words were "What the fuck??"  And then Leafsa was gone.

Always a great time seeing the T&A gang.  Hoping we can get more out for the next T&A adventure in spring '23.  Stay tuned for details...

Off to Miami.

We stopped in Miami for a few days on our way back to the Middle East.  Always a great time in this city, as we love the beaches, the food and drinks, the shopping, and the overall vibe.

We thought we would do a few things we had never done in Miami before:
- Hop On, Hop Off Bus - saw some new areas of Miami, including a new area that looked really cool (Wynwood...more on that later), went to a favorite of ours - Bayside Marketplace for mojitos, and then ended in Little Havana for drinks, shopping, and some Cuban food (Lisa LOVES Cubano sandwiches).  It was so cool to enjoy drinks there while listening to Cuban music and seeing the cigar making shops.
- Wynwood Marketplace - after driving past it on the bus, we went back to this very cool area of Miami.  It is the arts district and has amazing signs and painted buildings plus the incredible Wynwood Marketplace, a 60,000 square foot outdoor complex with art, shops, food trucks, and bars.  Great music all over.  (see the video below).
- Hollywood - we cabbed to Hollywood, just north of Miami to check it out.  Found a cool little restaurant (Le Tub Saloon) that had a cool vibe, amazing burgers, and was along the water.  

The rest of the time we spent in South Beach, enjoying the bars (the Clevelander still rocks!  See videos below), restaurants (Havana 1957, Sandwicherie...yum!), shopping, and the great beaches!

Can't wait to get back to Miami!

We went to Dubai for a March long weekend with a bunch of our friends (appropriately named "The Shitshow") from Saudi for another fun weekend.

We met up with Ian & Nikki (our Portsmouth friends that we met in Bangkok), who were on their way to Maldives.  Kept them out drinking until 3am and they had to leave for the airport at 5am.  Ouch!  (or did they keep us up drinking??)

We spent another day at Expo and saw a few more pavilions.  It was so hot and busy so spent most of our time having cold beers.  A really cool thing - our friend Nicky got a pic from the Ukrainian pavilion showing memos from visitors showing support in their fight vs the Russians (see pic below).

Had some live music, pool time, and a great brunch with the Shitshow gang....also great to see Frank & Sherri again!  Videos are below.

Here are some of the dates for upcoming travel...always happy for anyone to come and join us!  Stay tuned for pics, videos, and more stories...

April 29-May 4 - Maldives.  Heading to Hard Rock Maldives for a few days.
June 2-6 - Cyprus...checking out Ayia Napa - supposed to be the 2nd wildest European party place next to Ibiza...let's do it!
July 8-18 - Canada...back home for a few days to see friends and family.  Also get to see the Zac Brown Band and Calgary Stampede.
July 31-August 10 - Zanzibar and Tanzania ... so excited for this trip with Anita.  A few days all-inclusive on the beaches, then safari in the Serengeti with the Great Migration.
September 11-October 5 - Spain.  excited to visit Ibiza and then spend a few weeks visiting cities along the coast of Spain.
November 9-14 - Berlin.  Going to see Alan Doyle play in Germany!  (only 27 euros per ticket!)

Spring 2023 - T&A trip ... details coming soon!

As you can see, we've had a busy spring...looking forward to what summer has in store for us.  
Looking forward to seeing everyone back in Canada in July.

We will update the blog after the Maldives and Cyprus trips.

Ending off with a few pics, including an awesome wall sign our friends Jeff & Sara gave to us. 
6 years..."What an Adventure"

​Love from L&J...

This blog will highlight one of the most amazing trips we have had.  
​You can click on pictures to enlarge them.

We spent 3 weeks in Croatia, known as Hrvatska to the locals.  It is in Central/Southeast Europe along the Adriatic Sea and is just east of Italy, south of Slovenia, west of Bosnia, and north of Greece.
The country has a population of just over 4 million and was part of Yugoslavia until 1991, so you will see many amazing old forts and churches in this blog.  

Overall feel of the country - you couldn't find a bad picture, bad food, bad wine, or bad people.  They rely on tourism and you can see why.  The country is extremely scenic with turquoise water, beautiful trees and mountains, and the historic cities.  We will discuss some of the incredible food as well!

Masks were optional the entire stay, unless you went into a shop.  A refreshing 'escape' from Covid!
​
Here we go...

We flew through Frankfurt into Zagreb, Croatia, then spent 5 days in Northern Croatia before driving south to Split for a 7 day cruise and then a few more days in Split.

​There are many amazing pics and videos to share the story...enjoy! 

We spent 5 days in Istria, the northern part of Croatia located just south of Slovenia and a couple hours from Venice.  We had a great resort just north of Rovinj.

We visited Pula on the south side to see the Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre built out of limestone between 27BC and 68AD.  In fact, they still use it and were taking down the stage from an opera show the night before.  Quite a sight to see!

Rovinj is a small coastal town with about 15,000 people.  There is an awesome old town area filled with shops, restaurants, and many boat excursions (many dolphin tours!).  Incredible people watching.  We enjoyed the hike up the hill to St. Euphemia's Basilica which can be viewed from high above.  Was interesting to see the remnants from the previous night, with vodka and orange juice at the entrance to the church!

We will be back to this area!

Day 1: Split Arrival,  Saturday 
We packed our bags and went to the port to drop them off to be loaded onto the Bella yacht.
Then off for drinks to get prepared before boarding at 1PM.  Got settled onto the boat for unpacking, then drinks and a Welcome Dinner with everyone.  

We had 40 people on board plus the crew:

• Cruise Manager - Inga
• Captain - Nino
  
• Servers/Bartender - Antonio and Filipa
  
• Housekeeping - Katarina
• Boat crew - Tino and Djur
• Plus 2 chefs, who we never really met

The boat was amazing - lots of space, great bar & dining area, a plunge pool, and a hot tub.

We have been on 3 large cruises before - they often port at 7am and leave between 4-6pm.  We were really excited that this trip would be different, as we would be getting stops in small towns, swim stops, stops at national parks, as well as being able to enjoy the evenings, as the boat would not set sail until 7am on most mornings.

​The pics will tell the rest of the story...

Day 4: Korčula to Dubrovnik, Tuesday In the morning sail to Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Upon arrival in Dubrovnik, you will enjoy a guided tour of the magnificent Old Town with a panoramic bus ride above the Old Town. After the panoramic view, we will arrive at the historical centre of Dubrovnik, walk through STRADUN – both a street and a square, the most famous place inside the town walls, the famous city enlisted as UNESCO’s World Heritage site, where your guide will show you the most interesting sights of Dubrovnik. After city tour, you will be left on your own to explore the city, visit City Walls, the Franciscan Monastery with Europe's second oldest pharmacy, the Rector's Palace and the Cathedral, take a boat ride to Lokrum island or take the cable car to the top of the Mount Srđ. Overnight in Dubrovnik.

Had a beautiful swim stop on our long trip to Dubrovnik.  Lisa enjoyed the stand up paddle boarding.

Dubrovnik was an amazing city we wished we could have spent more time in - a medieval fortress from the 7th century that is incredible to see ... pictures do not do justice!

Had a great tour and then wandered to see some bars on our hit list - Buza Bar on the cliff, Katie O'Connors Irish Pub, and the Cave Bar at Hotel More.  Also had a great pizza at Pizzeria Oliva!

Hope to get back to see more of this city!

Day 6: Mljet to Vela Luka (Island of Korčula) to Vis, Thursday Morning we sail north towards the island of Vis, stopping in Vela Luka on the island of Korčula, the birthplace of Olivera Dragojevic, a famous Croatian singer. Vela Luka is a quiet Mediterranean town, facing traditional agriculture, fishing, and tourism. At lunchtime we continue towards Vis once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and closed to the public. Due to this isolation, Vis has a special charm – “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it really interesting to visit. Upon arrival in town of Vis join the walking tour to visit the remains of the Roman thermal place and views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. Overnight in Vis.  Tonight enjoy Captain’s dinner onboard.

We enjoyed our stop in Vela Luka, a quiet place with a very nice marina area.  The swim stop was nice, especially with the big naval ship.  Then over to Vis Island.
We cabbed across from Vis town to Komiza, on the west side of the island.  Beautiful old town along the water.  Then back to Vis, where we came across the very strange practice of the Hash House Harriers (see the video!).  Enjoyed a few drink stops, and then back on board for the Captain's Dinner.

Day 8: Split Departure, Saturday 
After breakfast, it’s time to disembark. Said sad goodbyes to the crew, and friends we met from the US, Switzerland, Denmark, Hungary, Albania, Slovenia, and Croatia.

AN AMAZING TRIP!

And it isn't over yet.

Took a cab to our hotel, chilled at the beach (with 1L mojitos), then off to an Irish Pub to watch the Lions/Springboks rugby match with Hayden & Christy.

We took a day tour to Plitvice Lakes national park, which is one of the oldest parks in Croatia and became a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1979.
It is at the top of the list of "things to see/do" in Croatia.  And we can see why!

An amazing hike around the 16 lakes that cascade via 90+ waterfalls.

The pics and videos will do the talking...

We took a pirate boat on our last day with Hayden & Christy, sailing to Necujam, Maslinica, Ciovo, and the Blue Lagoon.

The trip included many drinks and many swim stops.  The sea legs were a bit wobbly afterwards - not sure if it was from the water or the pirate cocktails!

Afterwards, we enjoyed a cheese-infused steak and a tasty pizza at Bakra. Great place!

Spent our last day in Split doing some shopping, some beach time, and an early night sleep for our 3am wake up call to head to the airport!

August 18-September 8 - Canada
Finally, we are getting a chance to get back home to see friends and family!
Game plan:
Aug 18-22 - in Edmonton.  Visiting with everyone...and an outdoor Alan Doyle & Blue Rodeo concert!
August 22-24 - driving the Jasper to Banff highway along the Rocky Mountains (we have never done this!)
August 24-Sept 8 - in Calgary - excited to have Lisa's mom join us, as well as Jeff's dad (hopefully!).  And a great chance to connect with friends in "our last Canadian home"
CAN NOT WAIT to see you all!!!

Sept 23-25 - long weekend - no plans yet ... maybe Doha or Dubai
Nov 11-15 - no plans yet
November 29-December 8 - no plans yet
December 29-January 3 - no plans yet

Thanks for joining our Croatia journey via the blog...hope to see you can join in person when we go again next time.

Stay safe everyone...see you soon!

Love, 
​L&J

Wow, it has actually been April since our last post.  Don't worry - we're still alive.  
​Like the rest of the world, we just haven't had a lot of travel this year!  

​This blog will discuss life in Saudi during the pandemic, the little travel we did have, and a new addition to our family...

​Enjoy!

It was quite amazing to watch how countries around the world were handling the COVID-19 pandemic.  We saw many outbreaks in the US, Canada, Europe, and many are going through the 2nd waves right now and experiencing lockdowns.

Saudi was quite strict, as discussed in the last blog we posted.  The country locked down in March and didn't open back up (for expats) until September 15th.  Yes, that was over 6 months INSIDE the Kingdom with no pork or alcohol but we managed.  Masks have been mandatory in all public areas since March and nobody is protesting or fighting against that.

Many friends and their families were also stuck out of Kingdom.  Aramco was amazing at continuing to pay them and arrange travel to get them back into Kingdom.

We had many vacations in Kingdom at home, staying on our compound to enjoy the pool and have many BBQ's with friends.  There was a few weeks with 24 hour quarantine where you could only go out for essentials like medical or groceries and you also needed a government pass to go through check stops to get to work.  Overall, the Saudi government and health officials did an outstanding job managing the pandemic which is why our cases continue to stay low.

The pics below will show some of the things we did to keep entertained throughout this period:
- Lots of BBQ's - teaching friends how to make tandoori
- Celebrating Birthdays 
- ​Friends shipped items to us from Canada and the US - sure cheered us up while locked inside
- Many game nights and karaoke nights that turned into great costume parties (for us anyway!)
- As things opened up, there were some concerts
​- We tried many new restaurants as a way of getting out into the city
- We did some Saudi marathons.  Nothing hardcore - just tracking distance over time with targets of 100km in a month
- We did our first COVID tests, allowing us to take a trip to Bahrain in early October
- we did a couple trips to a sister compound (Murjan Village) in Jubail, going with many friends for some pool and beach fun
- Then of course, there was a great Halloween party

Looking at all of these pics sure makes us feel very lucky.  
Sure we didn't travel like we wanted.
Sure we didn't get home to see family & friends like we wanted.
But we are healthy.  Our friends & family are healthy.
And we made the best of the lockdown time.

During the lockdown, we were walking in our compound and found an abandoned kitten.  He was so cute but so scared.  We fed him one night and we decided to make him ours.

We struggled with names...do we call him Corona or Covie to remind us of the crazy times when we got him.

Instead, we landed on Maverick...probably because Lisa is so excited for the new Top Gun movie that is coming out.

We are now getting adjusted to life with a kitten...a kitten that has tons of energy & doesn't always listen.
A kitten that rips apart Lisa's 2000 piece puzzle...when she has 1950 of them in place already.
A kitten that decides the thawing hamburger should be his and not ours.
A kitten that fetches toys like a dog and likes chasing (and eating) geckos - so funny to watch (see the videos!)
But...a kitten that is ours and fits into our family!

Here are a few pics of the little fella...

At the end of August we had a couple weeks off and could not travel out of Kingdom so we decided here was our chance to see the Red Sea and the west coast of Saudi.

Off to Jeddah for the 1 hour flight.  Our first flight since COVID.  Loved the extra space!

You can see from the pics below that Jeddah had some very nice architecture, and amazing corniche, the world's tallest water fountain (over 1000 feet tall), and a very cool historic part of the city - Al Balad (Old Jeddah) that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Note to self...late August Saudi temperatures (45 degrees Celsius) and no cold beers is not a good combination! 

After Jeddah, we went up the coast to KAEC (King Abdullah Economic City) which is a city designed to function on economies other than oil.  There is a large port there and it was also the first part of Saudi to allow ladies to drive.

Lots of great beach area and the Royal Greens golf course which has hosted PGA and just this last weekend an LPGA event.  In fact, Dustin Johnson holds the course record.

We had fun golfing with our friends Hayden & Christy...even had to drink some non-alcoholic beers to keep refreshed.

We finally got out of Kingdom for a vacation mid-October, venturing off to the Maldives for a 1-week all inclusive at Varu by Atmosphere.

This was a great resort and we took advantage of the beautiful weather, amazing beaches, snorkelling, and our water villa with pool on the patio. We even got to see shark and sting ray feeding nightly.

The vacation took a scary turn on our second night just after 8PM. We were getting ready to leave the bar (honestly, only had 2-3 drinks) and we were going to head back to our patio pool for a few more. Lisa looked at me and said "There's a problem...something's not right". By the time I went to get a sit down chair, she had fainted and smacked her hand and head on the floor. Everyone rushed to help and they got a doctor to help and get us back to the room. It seems that the fainting was due to dehydration (lots of sun and not enough water). Scary as hell! And a bruised hand that Lisa couldn't move the entire time we were there.

The resort did everything to take care of us and didn't even charge for the doctor. They even had a doctor come to the room our 2nd last day to do the COVID PCR test needed to get back into Dubai.

Overall, besides Lisa's tumble, it was an amazing week away. Since everyone arriving at the island needed a negative PCR test, nobody was wearing masks and it was almost like a 1-week window in 2020 where COVID didn't exist. So strange! The resort was at 40% capacity and had only about 100 guests so it was almost like having an island to yourself.

We feel so lucky to have been able to visit Maldives a second time. What a beautiful place!

After the Maldives, we spent a week in Dubai, which we were very excited for.  Usually we are there for a weekend only...fly in, party, fly home.  This time we could relax, see parts we hadn't seen, and chill in the area near our Airbnb.  

We stayed in the JBR (Jumeriah Beach Residence) area which is our favourite part of Dubai.  Within a 10 minute walk you have a free beach, many hotel pools with bars and beach access, tons of other restaurants and bars, a movie theatre, and a marina with a great mall.

The first weekend, we visited the Dubai Mall for shopping but also so Lisa could see the Mediclinic.  After a consultation, they did 3 x-rays and determined she had 3 fractures in her hand so they splinted it and then called us back the next day for a cast.  This only cost $300US.  Can't imagine what that would've cost back in Canada or the US.  FYI, Lisa just had the cast removed November 15th (one month after "The Fall")...she will need a month of rehab, as she is still bruised and can't move her fingers.  

Besides a bunch of shopping (at 3 malls!), some beach/pool time, and a visit to Souq Madinat Jumeirah, we found some places in Dubai we had never seen:
- The Pointe - with the World's Largest Fountain - celebrated Jeff's birthday at Chicago Meatpackers for Meat Monday....$75US got us a huge steak, 2 sides, and all we could drink wine from 6-9PM
- Bluewater Island - great new island near JBR with many restaurants - tried the Mexican themed Puerto 99
- Global Village - huge amusement park with pavilions from most countries in the world...park access $4US...unbelievable.

​Lots of great 2 for 1 and Happy Hour deals in Dubai as they do everything to generate tourism right now!

​Another great time in Dubai!

We had to submit our 2021 vacations already and don't have much planned yet.  Orange highlighted days are the vacations.

We left Q1 empty as we still don't know what will happen with travel due to COVID (fingers crossed for an effective vaccine soon!). This means that our T&A fun will have to wait until 2022...but don't worry - we will be back with a vengeance!

July - we will be doing France and somewhere else in Europe for a couple weeks

August/September - Canada (for the first time since 2019 for Lisa and 2018 for Jeff)...maybe a week in the Montana cottage?

We will fill in the other vacations as time gets closer.  Too much uncertainty now.  Would love to get in a Tanzania/Zanzibar trip!

​Hopefully some friends and family will join us for some travels!

We are so fortunate that all of our friends and family are staying healthy during these times.  We miss you all and hope to see you soon.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas season!

​Love, L&J

Hello everybody, 

We are finally getting back with another blog update from the end of 2019.  We will share some pics, videos, and stories from an awesome November and December.

Our friend Anita flew from Canada to Dubai to meet us (yay Anita!).  She joined us there for a gong show of a birthday brunch for Lisa and then we went to South Africa.  Later in December, we flew to Thailand for New Years.

All that and more in this update.  

Enjoy.  And remember, you can scroll over the pics to see captions and click to enlarge them if you wish.

We had quite a group of close friends join us for the weekend in Dubai for Lisa's birthday brunch at the end of November.  As mentioned, our friend Anita flew in from Canada.  We loved spending time with her in Dubai and giving her a bit of a taste of "our new home".

Brunch, as expected, was a complete gong show as you can see from the pics and video.

Jeff had to fly home Saturday to work Sunday so Lisa and Anita took advantage of the Dubai time to tour around, see the sights, and also do a desert trip where they surfed the sand dunes, rode camels, and had a BBQ and drinks in the desert.

Jeff flew back to Dubai Sunday after work and met the girls at the airport to fly off to Johannesburg, South Africa.

THANK YOU ANITA for coming to visit!!

After landing in Johannesburg early Monday morning, we took a short flight to Kruger Park, landing at Skukuza airport.

We were picked up by our safari guide and on the way to our lodge we saw giraffes and 6 lions right along the side of the road....even before we got to our camp.

We checked into Notten's Bush Camp and had breakfast.  What an amazing lodge.  We would stay there again for sure.  The food was incredible and top shelf alcohol was included but it was the top-level service that made the experience.  Great place!
They also warn you about walking out late at night without a flashlight - we did see a hyena walking through the camp - see the pics below.

The game drives were fantastic, seeing all the big animals we were looking for and even seeing a leopard catch an impala and run it up the tree so the nearby hyena couldn't get any of it.  So cool...check the video!

We also took a break one day between morning and afternoon game drives to go golfing at Skukuza Golf Course.  We saw warthogs there (pumbas) and many hippos in the waterholes.

This was another amazing safari.  We were so happy to share the experience with Anita, as her wild trip continued.  

​Off to Capetown for a week!

We stayed at an Airbnb in Camp's Bay, a very cool area of Cape Town with a nice beach and many bars and restaurants.

Cape Town is right up there with one of the most beautiful cities we have ever seen.  It actually reminded us a lot of Vancouver.  There are so many things to do here - nice waterfront, great beaches, amazing restaurants & bars, safaris, shark diving, and so many touristy areas to visit.  It is tough to beat the scenery around Cape Town!

Also, some kick ass wine tasting tours!

Highlights:
- Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram in Franschhoek - an incredible day with beautiful scenery 
- Constantia Valley wine area 
- Table Mountain 
- V&A Waterfront - a beautiful area along the harbour - great views, lots of shopping, restaurants, bars, and some great canal boat rides to enjoy!
- Bo Kaap is a former township on the slopes of Signal Hill above the city centre.  It has beautiful colourful homes and is quite multicultural (56% muslim).- Oranjezicht City Fram Market - a great market with lots of food and a nice beer garden
- Boulder's Beach - so cool to see penguins out in the wild and enjoying a gorgeous day
- Cape Point & Cape of Good Hope - at the southernmost tip of Africa
- Chapman's Peak Drive - one of the most scenic ocean drives you can take
- A reminder of where we are - check out the pic below of the bench saying "Whites Only".  It wasn't too long ago when this was acceptable!
- Diamond Tour - pretty cool to see diamond cutting & polishing in action
- Food:
​      Codfather - pick your fish, they weight it and cook it for you
      Hussar Grill - incredible steak house ... had to go twice since Lisa passed out the first time!
      Biltong - is a dried, cured meat originating in South African countries using various types of meats

We really enjoyed our time in Cape Town and area, as you will see by the pics below...
