Hidden Gems of Cortona

by Celeste McKenzie· November 27, 2018· in Europe, Travel Memories· 0 comments tags: adventure, destination, Europe, holiday, lifestyle, memories, Travel Planning
We arrived by train and end up at the Camucia bus station, must say you need to learn some Italian. I think we looked lost and with no signs in English, we asked a local resident… well not asked just mentioned the name Cortona and she pointed to the top and the bus station. So, we waited until a bus arrives and we went slowly up the hill. I did not think the bus will make it up the hill, but eventually, we did arrive at the Piazza Garibaldi in Cortona. Driving through the narrow streets and hearing people speaking in different dialects on the bus, made this more surreal. I was very excited and had my film camera ready to shoot, yes, I was shooting film as this was in 2004. We arrived in the afternoon just-in-time for a quick stroll around the block to find a good restaurant for dinner. It is best to explore the town by foot as it is not big, with high walls around it. The next morning it was my birthday and I even bought a newspaper with the date on. The view from the hotel was idyllic, overlooking the famous hills of […]

7000 km 4 x 4 Pretoria – Namibia Part 2

by Celeste McKenzie· November 11, 2018· in 4x4 Travel, Africa, Infra Red Photography, Road Trip, Travel Memories· 0 comments tags: landrover, overland
We were now on our way to Sesreim, Sossusvlei and again beautiful dirt roads.  We used a GPS map we bought from Tracks 4 Africa and it was 90% accurate in estimating arrival times.  We stopped a few times when the GPS said hours to our destination and we double checked on a good old paper map and used that when we were not sure.  We were lucky throughout the trip the GPS were accurate and for peace of mind we also had a satellite phone with us.  We wanted some extra peace of mind and we rented a satellite phone. We arrived around 15:00 at Little Sossus Lodge our accommodation for the next 2 days. It is a beautiful place to stay and that evening we had a well-deserved Gin and Tonic next to the swimming pool. For dinner they served a 3 course meal while there was a thunderstorm on the horizon.

It was spectacular seeing two hot air balloons being prepped for the […]
