Arrived into Livingstone, Zambia Wednesday afternoon, it was a very short drive over the border, but took several hours as we had to wait for 16 visas to be filled out by hand and pasted to our passports. That evening we had a farewell dinner and said ... Read more >

The walking safari through Matobo NP was an amazing experience. The guides from Black Rhino Tours were fantastic and their knowledge and eco-conscious approach on safari allowed us to view these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. They ... Read more >

Ah Zanzibar; the name invokes the sense of something exotic, like the spices for which it is famous. Stone Town with its whitewashed buildings and narrow alleys steeped in Arabic tradition does not disappoint, and feels as if you are stepping ... Read more >

Just landed this afternoon into the sweltering heat of Tanzania; after subzero temps in Iceland and rain in Paris and Brussels, sun and sweat was a welcomed change. It was much as I expected it to be: a single long runway in the middle of a desert plain.... Read more >

Ever have those days where everything goes wrong? This was our trip to Bruges... We had waited until the last minute to buy our train tickets (not sure what I was thinking there); so instead of paying only $40 dollars, we paid $130. Lesson to be learned ... Read more >

Ah Paris, la Cité d’Amour; ironic we should end up here on Valentine's Day, and it was unplanned too! We were met with a little rain, but it still managed to feel warm after the frigid temperatures we left in Iceland. The B&B we booked, ... Read more >

Day 3: Spa day! Tammy and Amy booked services at Hilton Nordica Spa and both enjoyed their services, though book the Salt Scrub with caution as it can be very intense (Tammy actually had a few spots on her back that started bleeding!). A nice bonus ... Read more >
