Beyond the wilderness and safaris that everyone knows South Africa for, it is also a stunning country for lovely trails and camping. We visited Drakensberg, also known as ‘Dragon Mountains’ for 3 days to camp and do some day hikes. The weather was stunning and breezy.

Capetown is also a lovely must-visit place with its lovely beaches and cape point/ cape of good hope. We utterly loved the cliff views of Table Mountain as well.

Long Dong in Jiufen is a small quiet fishing village and also a popular place for sand stone rock climbing.

Come here to enjoy a lovely cool pacific ocean breeze while basking in the sun. We sure miss hearing the waves crashing against the cliffs as we scale those beautiful walls here in Long Dong Taiwan.

Edinburgh is indeed love at first sight. You will never get enough of the rustic city with its castles and mountains. A warm scarf around your neck makes the nice cold mountain valley air really enjoyable.
