Cape Town

V A Waterfront We ended our 2018 travels on the African continent. It was our first time in Africa and it was a pleasant surprise, mostly for me because I had no expectations. I must confess I wanted so much to go to Cambodia and Vietnam that when João convinced me to go to South […]

The Twelve Apostles

In one of Cape Town’s best locations is one of the most idyllic hotels ever!
