Bremen Germany

Image
Bremen is an extremely  cosmopolitan city and though people here don't overdo it with friendliness, they are open-minded and totally relaxed. The most spoken languages here might be German and Turkish. It has a lovely old town; probably one of the best old towns in Germany, a beautiful city centre, tons of parks and greenery and some cool hipster areas. Bremen is at once a modern university town and a port city with more than 1200 years of history. Its Old Town reflects its medieval and Renaissance past, but many of the old merchant houses are now home to restaurants, and neighborhoods that once housed tradesmen have the same charming exteriors while boutiques and art galleries occupy their main floors.  When the weather is nice, residents spill down the banks of the river at outdoor cafes and markets.

Boulders penguin colony, South Africa

Image
There are few places in the world where you can get this close to a breeding colony of penguins, swim close to them in the sea and enjoy their private sandy beach.  A colony of penguins sunning themselves on the beach in Simons Town, South Africa. Getting to Boulders beach penguin colony isn’t too difficult and even though its about 45 minutes outside Cape Town city centre the views are so worth it. Boulders beach is located in Simons Town which is on the False Bay coast. You can drive the very scenic route ( we always take this one ) via Camps Bay, Hout Bay, Chapmans Peak and then through to Simons Town. You can also drive the faster route through town onto the N2 highway and then Muizenberg and Kalkbay. I won’t bore you with the details as I am sure you all have  google maps  but if you have can help it rather go the longer coastal route. When you enter the boardwalk gate there isn’t a whole lot to explore but believe me you will spend quite a bit of time there. The penguins are alwa

Beautiful Stellenbosch, South Africa

Image
The perfect balance of small town tranquillity with that big city energy; Stellenbosch is the perfect little town to explore for the day. At the foot of the Boland Mountains Stellenbosch is most well-known for its University and of course for producing some of the best wines around. Steeped in history it’s easy to feel like you’ve travelled back in time surrounded by beautiful Cape Dutch architecture and streets lined with towering oak trees. From wining and dining, live music and shopping to outdoor adventures and markets there is so much to do and see, but just one day in this picturesque will definitely leave you wanting more.
