We had fond memories of the beautiful Knorhoek Valley from our last visit. Unsurprisingly, today's walk offered plenty of vineyards 🍇. Also, and I think this is surprising, were vast almond orchards 🌸. Both are just about to be harvested 🚛. There were also fantastic views of Simonsberg, which we love

The Doolhof Wine Estate is located at the very end of the valley where we recently did our adventure hike. Several trails are offered. We opted for the Groenberg Trail, knowing full well that we certainly wouldn't be hiking all the way to the summit. Although it was unusually cloudy today, it was still

I found our tour today described as a hidden gem on a travel blog. Keywords like 'hidden gem', 'picturesque', and 'incredible mountain views' practically begged to be discovered. The drive into the remote valley was absolutely breathtaking – what a panorama! ⛰️ However, once we arrived at the trailhead

Today we're testing the 10km trail advertised by Fairview. It quickly becomes clear that it's the same route we recently hiked from A on Spice Route 😂 No worries, we enjoyed it then, so we'll gladly do it again. The climb is just as steep as last week 🤭 Once we reach the top, we add a detour to the

Today is all about sweet memories for us 😍 We spent four wonderful weeks last year on the grounds surrounding the Rustenberg winery. Our favorite security guard, Ashley, is sadly no longer there, but we were recognized by today's guard on duty 🤗 At RiverStone Cottage, we were delighted to meet Yvette

We're so glad it rained heavily and thoroughly last night 👍 All the fires 🔥 (and there were countless of them the last few days 😟) are out for now, and the temperature has dropped to a wonderful 25 degrees Celsius. There's no need to head out before dawn today, so we arrive at our usual time 🕥 at

Since it's rather difficult to meet Brigitte and Klaus at home, we're doing it in South Africa instead – why make it easy when this works too? 😂🤗 Despite slightly challenging circumstances, we're delighted to see each other again at the park entrance. It's 6:20 a.m. and we've already had a 50-minute

New Year's Day, everything's reset to zero, including the temperature 🥶 A cherished tradition: on New Year's Day, we hike around the Holler mountain, stopping at the inn itself 😋 Today, an absolutely icy wind is blowing up here 💨 It promptly blows us past the first planned turn 😂 But we do manage

We're so happy to be enjoying the sun together again as Team Amrum before the end of the year 🤗. Since the Odenwald is new territory for Ruth and Manfred, we're starting with the Vorderer Odenwald (Front Odenwald) to make up for lost time 🤭 Someone forgot to tell the sun though 🤦🏻♀️ We managed a

We last visited the beautiful Sperling family winery in 2016. Their slogan is 'Worth the Journey,' and it's absolutely true. Even the drive to the very end of the valley is stunning; an avenue of flowering oleander leads us to the winery. There are three trails, and we opt for the 10km Cape Leopard Trail
