The Africa Travel Blog has been a little quiet lately, and there is a reason for that. Over the past couple of weeks I have been very busy preparing for a big move. A move all the way from San Diego, California, via Oslo, Norway, to Cape Town in South Africa. And the first step will be taken the day after tomorrow, when the whole transition begins with a flight to Oslo. Two weeks later I will be accompanied with my lovely fiance, Eleyce, and together we will fly to South Africa.
Now, during this transition time of about 4 weeks, the blog may be more or less slow and not very regularly updated. Though, I hope you will forgive me, because after this temporary slump, The Africa Travel Blog will revive and I will bring you first hand travel information from the amazing African continent (at least the southern tip of it!).
Follow My Africa Journal – Experiences, pictures and stories
If you’re a personal friend, family or just nosy (curious), you should follow my personal journal where I will share my experiences, pictures and stories. You will find my journal, naturally, in the JOURNALS category. And if you’re really curious about how our life will be like down there, well then I suggest that you sign up to the email alerts for the journal. That means that you will receive an email every day I have posted a little blurb about what I am doing down there! Click here to subscribe!
Follow The Africa Travel Blog – Information, tips, destinations and news
If you’re not very interested in my personal life, but rather want to follow the travel tips, news, and information that usually appear on the blog’s front page; Then you can sign up to the Admin RSS which sends you an email alert every day there is a new post (but it ignores my personal journal blurbs). Click here to subscribe to The Africa Travel Blog email alerts.
Thank you for reading, please return soon!

There are a few items on every tourist’s to-do list in Cape Town. Shopping / dining at the V&A Waterfront is likely to be one of them. This relatively recently developed part of Cape Town has most of what it takes to please your appetite as well as your mind (the part of your mind that loves a new piece of clothing, art, or fancy gadget). The only part of you that may suffer is your financial conscience. For most of us, it can be a tough challenge to spend a day at the Waterfront without severely breaking your planned travel budget.
