Throwback Weekly - Paris 2

A warm welcome to everyone reading this blog! In the past month 425 people visited this blog! Wow! Thank you to each one of you who took the time to read it!! 

My second throwback weekly is my last one about Paris. This city is still one of my favourite cities and I've been lucky enough to visit it 3 times. Every time I've visited this city, it shows me a different side to it - stunning food, delicious coffee and picturesque streets! Well worth the visit! Bon voyage till next time!

Throwback Weekly - Paris 1

I have decided to do a throwback weekly entry about some of the trips I've done in the past. I hope you enjoy it! My first throwback destination is Paris. Ooooooh I love Paris! It is a beautiful city and high on many tourist-lists. It is definitely worth a visit.

Camping under a meteor shower

It has been a while since my last blog post due to the end of year activities at school and packing for South Africa. I finally have enough time to do some writing!

Living in a country filled with desert sand, it is always fun to explore the unknown. A 1-2 hour drive from were we live, you enter a vast area filled with reddish sand and total silence. During the day this place is a boiling pot and I would rather not visit it during the summer months. We have decided to visit the desert in the late afternoon, when the scorching sun has added his last piece of wood in the sun fire. Setting up camp is quick especially using a pop up tent.

The real reason for our quick visit was to watch the meteor shower. Very excited we have waited in anticipation for the shower to start at around 22:00. 11-o-clock comes along and still no showers. By twelve-o-clock we decided to throw in the towel and go to bed. Packing up my tripod and camera with a very disappointing feeling inside me. It was suppose to be a once in a lifetime event. We either had the date or time wrong!

Nevertheless we had a great time in the desert for one night only and the only shower that I was thinking about, was the one you open with a tab.
