I mean on the blogg:) I know , I havent written for a long while, but it seems like life has been going on a steady, normal path, without too much to write about. Work is fine, life is good, spring is almost on the doorstep, I like it, just 2 more months to summer:). South Africa next season is much more busy than this previous season, many of my old clients are going back to South Africa, or Namibia, and besides that I have many new clients,group tours, this means I will spend some time overseas next season.
I think more and more spezialized tours are becoming popular- winetours, photograhic tours....and especially outdoor tours. In south africa you can take part in cycling races, marathons , horse riding, and you will find many great hiking trails, here is a good link to a good site : Footprints, and another one is: South African Hikes. I have done quite a few hikes around South Africa, day hikes and a few days hikes with overnights, and it is a wonderful way to experience the landscapes and nature SA has to offer, ano no, you do not need to be afriad of spiders and snakes:) , I have only seen a few snakes all trough the times I have spent out in the wild, and spiders, most of them are harmless, the bigger the nicer. You can choose to do a hike along the coast or up in the mountains, or on the rolling hills of zululand. Accommodation along the hikes are usually very basic, but some trails are planned so that one has the option to stay in a guest house every night..that means a shower every night:)
As I plan tours day and night, I do plan tours every day at work also, mainly to different destinations around Europe, I have had time to plan some own trips too. In end of May me and Nico are going to Italy 5 days, flying to Rome and spending the days in an area called Le Marche, almost like Tuscany but not so many toursists, enjoying the Adriatic Sea, enjoyig good food and wine, olives, cheese and the old mediaval buildings and towns...looking forward to that!
And beginning of May Im going to Stockholm with my good friend Immo, we are going to have a girls day and night= shopping, a few glasses of wine and then see Dirty Dancing in the evening, will be fun:) And as I was busy planning I decided to book a stay for me&Nico in Copenhagen also for a weekend in June, as there is direct flights now from Vasa to Copenhagen, what better than enjoying a short get away every now and then:) That covers now May and June, but then I have to plan a family trip also, that will be for July, maybe Copenhagen again...Legoland? But many people say it is better children are over 7 years when going there...so lets hope Blue1 is still flying straight to Copenhagen in a few years time, so go for it all Vasa people, fly to Copenhagen, good rates at the moment, you can get a return trip for only 100€! including all taxes and fees! Cheaper than going to Helsinki..I actually like the Blue1 add saying `why go trough HEL? ´...when there is straight flights Vasa-Copenhagen:)
Otherwise I have had a stomachflu this week, not nice at all, just been lying in bed without energy, now Im luckily feeling almost normal again.
Im longing for the bush, my favorite place in South Africa, watching wild animals close by. Here is a clip from the safari area I always visit, seen these lions quite a few times:
Enjoy!
I will be back sooner than later next time:)
Love Jannika
