No more Work

I am no longer working. There was an unexpected change to my working week, so i am now a lady of leisure with an extra week off. No More Cappucinos, no more rude customers !!!!

1wk at work

Ony 1 week left at work and then i am a lady of leisure with 2wks to fill before going off to the wilds of Africa. one weekend will be with sister and mother and the other with uncle, aunt & cousin and hopefully catch up with some good friends. The rest of the time will be chillin out at home, seeing friends and getting packed.

So can't wait !!!!!

Lovely weather here i come............

54 days & counting

The time is almost here for me to fly out of this tired old country..... everything is sorted now with the exception of planning my time out there with day trips galore !!! Can't wait, need some warmth. i mean we are getting snow in February.......... just like last year ...........!! will we have a proper summer this year ????? bring on spring !!!!!!

Africa Travels

Only 4months till i am travelling again, so excited ! i am almost ready now with 99% of my itinery sorted. Booked my accommodation for johannesburg @ bobs'bunkhouse, spending 8days in Durban @ Gibela Backpackers, and then 6days in Cape Town @ The Backpacker & Africa Travel Centre before joining my Cape Desert Safari with Acacia Africa...... Also booked my flight between J'Burg - Durban & Durban - Cape Town with Kulula Air.

Only thing left for me to sort out is accommodation in Windhoek, Namibia post tour and when i return to Cape Town for my flight home plus my transport from Namibia to S.Africa.

Riga : Come & Gone !

Well what can i say about Riga, Latvia.........

This time of the year it was freezing cold but the hotel was good, restaurants we visited were nice and friendly - good food and excellent service from one particular lady on our first night out! Peoples english was good and helpful. relatively cheap especially getting about on public transport, only bad thing about that was being packed like sardines on the airport bus.......

Winter Hols

In one weeks time my father , sister and i will be off to Riga for a long weekend ! i certainly could do with a break.... Kind of looking forward to it, booked into a hotel and have ordered my latvian lats ( their currency )

and it would appear that latvia is one of thee places to go !

Riga, Latvia

Not somewhere i would have in my top 10 places to go but you never know .............
i am going along with my sister and father, we are treating him to a belated birthday getaway. Our Father has not been abroad for years and the time has come for him to be able to experience someplace different and to enjoy his retirement.
So something else to look forward to in November............ a fun packed family long weekend !!!
