The Blogitects (Category) - 14 posts

At the end of our holiday road trip, Thorsten and I spent three days glamping in a tipi at Kokivlle Homestead.

It's been four years since I met my boyfriend Thorsten, an architect, who makes up the other half of the Blogitects.

We spent four days at Mapungubwe National Park, at the northern tip of South Africa, and experienced spectacular cultural and natural wonders.

On the first stop of our Limpopo road trip, Thorsten and I stayed in a cottage at the Tupelo Honey Farm in Magoebaskloof. It was magical.

In part three of our saga, Thorsten and I finally make it home to Joburg from KwaZulu-Natal, via Richards Bay and Dundee.

Thorsten and I embarked on a wild weeklong road trip through KwaZulu-Natal province, which did not turn out as planned.

We climbed Table Mountain, starting from the Kirstenbosch and up the Skeleton Gorge Trail. Here's how we did it.

Thorten and I went hiking in Kloodendal Nature Reserve. It was my first time there in 11 years, and we saw hundreds of king proteas in bloom.

Thorsten and I spent a few days on Route 72 -- in Port Alfred, Kasouga, and Kenton-on-Sea, during our Blogitect Road Trip.

On the last night of our Blogitect Road Trip we stayed in the town of Wepener in the eastern Free State, on the border with Lesotho.

After many years of yearning, I finally visited the Big Pineapple in Bathurst, Eastern Cape, last month. It was well worth the wait.

One year later than planned, I finally made it to Bathurst -- one of the small South African towns I've been most excited to visit.
