Pilanesberg National Park

I'm sure "Safari" is on most peoples to do list when traveling to South Africa. But which reserve to visit is the big question. Travelers to SA usually limit their trips to Cape Town and Johannesburg. Kruger National Park is most people's (including me) first choice Game Reserve, the amount of wildlife you see there is incomparable. But travelling to Mpumalanga/Limpopo may be a bit far out for some.

One of my favourite getaways offers a convenient alternative - Pilanesberg National Park. I've visited here many times in the last few years, and I love it. Being a mere 2 hour drive from Johannesburg, means that its feasible to do a day trip. Its Situated in the North West Province, which is Malaria free, and its right next door to Sun City - added bonus! 

Budapest Must See: The Hungarian Parliament

 "The city is so Beautiful, you almost feel too embarrassed to look" 

Budapest is one of the most under marketed cities. I also truly believe it is one of the most beautiful cities on our planet, having justly earned the label of being the "Paris of the East." Its a wonderful mix of history, art and modern culture, making it one of my favourite vacations. The city's beauty will leave you in awe.

I've decided to blog about Budapest, to share my experience with others and if possible, inspire others to visit this incredible city. Pictures and text do not do justice to the feeling you get of the city and atmosphere, when you are actually there.

Honeymooning in Phuket

After our wedding the hubby and I jetted off to Thailand for our honeymoon. We spent the first half in Phuket. We decided to stay in the Hilton Arcadia on Karon Beach. Much hype is made of Patong, but for a honeymoon we felt Karon was much more serene. The Hilton Arcadia itself was an amazing resort. We had a sea facing suite, which had an excellent view of the beach. The room was spacious and clean and the bathroom was huge! The resort was massive! It boasts tennis courts, a spa, 4 pool areas and there's even a shopping area within the resort.
