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.

I recently climbed a mine dump at the bottom of Immink Drive in Diepkloof, Soweto. Here are some photos from the experience.

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.

For the past six years, I've been yearning to return to Bethulie and the Royal Hotel. I finally got the chance last month.

Thorsten and Heather, aka the Blogitects, rode Phyllis the Ford Ranger FX4 on a nine-day road trip from Joburg to the Eastern Cape and back.

I visited the Nizamiye Mosque in Midrand for the first time in several years, and got permission to take pictures from the top.

I ate dinner at Chilli Pepper, a restaurant on Immink Drive in Diepkloof, Soweto. It was a memorable experience.

I visited 56 Jorissen Street, a new student residence in Braamfontein, earlier this week. The views are amazing.

Lots of people have been asking for suggestions on where to eat outside in Joburg. Blind Tiger in Parkview has the perfect restaurant garden.

Since the pandemic began, I've become obsessed with the taste of sourdough bread. My loaf from Meat the Mother increased that obsession.

We took a walk through the Harvey Nature Reserve on Linksfield Ridge, which bisects Joburg's northern and southern halves.
