Cape Town is the fucking amazing place to be in a lifetime. Strategically located between mountains and Ocean with a right mix of eclectic shimmering blue beaches, pink sunsets, white sands & an inspiring history. Just the way I like it ♥
On our quest to explore the country by road, we choose the must visit & seductive Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. It was the best road trip decision we have ever taken. we reached PE via flight from Johannesburg. It was the scariest flight of my life due to strong winds 90Km/hr to be precise and I even scanned my whole life for all the possible sins while landing. Found a few but what the hell.. am only hooman.
Port Elizabeth, sweetest, quiet & one of the most scenic cities I have ever seen. Its right next to the sea and with strong winds but stillness and quiteness of the city makes it a jewel in paradise. Beware you might 0not want to leave the city and feel life is stress free here. Its so surreal that I slept 15 hrs at a stretch while he does his favourite part of Barbeque with drinks.
We started our road trip in the morning from PE to Cape Town via Garden Route. A total of 800kms with a view to die for. If the thought of chilled beer and a day on the beach gives you chill then this road trip will give you thrills.
There’s no shortage of breathtaking views with every turn and it will seduce you to see more & explore more. You drive with most Picturesque mountain ranges to your right and Majestic Ocean to your left.
Fasten your seat belts and drive along with us on this lifetime experience of a ROAD TRIP

A Big hello to All!!!
Lion & Safari park marked the beginning of my South African adventure holidays. This is my second time into the South African wilderness and I loved the country even more.
It’s the perfect park to get familiar with the African roads and wild animals if you are going to be on a long holiday in the country. It’s around 70 km from Joburg as locals call the beloved city.
Lion park allows you to get as close to the wildlife as you could have ever imagined. Authorities have maintained the safari as completely natural habitat for animals and you are going to be in the cage.. well in the car not a cage in this case. Drive through safari will give you the right amount of adrenaline rush when you drive at a speed of 10km/hr right past the pride of white Lions or jump in your seats when wild dogs will sit on your car’s roof or when the zebra’s give you that look of “Ohh C’mon give me a break”
You can feel your inner child peeping in at the first site of animals. Safari area is quite big and will take at 3 hrs to drive through it. entry tickets are around 170Rands p.p. if you want to do the safari with your car else they have their own safari jeeps. The speed limit is around 40-50km/hr to 10km/hr depending upon the animal’s movement. This is like going on a treasure hunt with maps provided to you and it’s up to you to be able to read the map and reach that area.
And after a nice and fulfilling day into the fields, you will get covered in dust and soil even if you are not allowed to get out of the car or roll down window panes at most of the areas. You will definitely require a nice drink and meal, which safari offers in the lap of the jungle.
Enjoy the Safari from my rolling eyes….
If you have been to the park.. Do share your thoughts on it and if you wish to go.. then stay tuned for my coming post on How to plan trip to South Africa without breaking the bank.
Hope you liked the picture.
Bye for now ♥♥♥
Hey my Friends,
Have You seen the Google Doodle yesterday? Well that marked the 41st Anniversary of Discovery of Lucy. Well Lucy Believed to be first 3000 or so year old skeleton of a female which was somewhat like a chimpanzee but was bi footed or so the researchers believe and giving her name Lucy after the Beatles Song.
You might be guessing why I am discussing Lucy? I happened to be fortunate to Travel to South Africa where I visited Cradle of Humankind in Strekfontein near Johanesburg. Certainly Lucy was not Found their, she was found in Ethopia. But Mrs Ples was found in the caves of Strekfontein and is believed to be around 2400 year.
Its a mesh of Limestone caves and so deep to be like going in 18 floor down the surface of Earth. There was a crystal clear water lake and magnificent Limestone structures emerging from the core of the earth.
