The Dogs Bollocks – On the Grill and Into the Gob

November 21, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

The Dogs Bollocks aka “The Yard” or “Bitches Tits”,  is a very “hipster” type of restaurant (or should I say garage/ driveway) situated in Roodehek Street in Cape Town. I’ve been hearing about this place for a while now and decided to check it out this weekend. We parked very close to the Hope Street … [Read more…]

Cape Town to Seoul, South Korea

November 18, 2013 by Rif 1 Comment

Some time ago, when I was writing up a very long document aka my master’s dissertation. I needed a way to motivate myself to finish it. My addiction to Sorority Life (a Facebook game) was getting in the way. While trying not to smash my laptop in when my Ms Word tables didn’t want to … [Read more…]

Phuket: The Burasari Hotel

November 13, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 4 Comments

After a 1 hr 45 min flight from Chiang Mai on Air Asia (decent flight, terrible coffee), we safely arrived in Phuket. The views flying over Phuket were beautiful – blue skies, clear blue seas and picturesque limestone “islands” all over. We felt like this would be the island holiday we had always dreamed of. … [Read more…]

7th Street Guesthouse, Melville, Johannesburg

November 12, 2013 by Rif 1 Comment

The 7th Street Guesthouse is situated about 5 minutes from this buzzing street. When we pulled up to the place, I was quite surprised to see that there was no buzzer which meant my colleague had to phone the owners to be let in. The owner didn’t seem particularly friendly on the phone, as she … [Read more…]

Hiking trail: Crystal Pools, Gordon’s Bay, Western Cape

November 11, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 6 Comments

Crystal pools is a hidden gem, located just past Gordon’s Bay, about 65km from Cape Town. We had heard of it in passing but we could not find much information about it on the web. We were amped after a recent Lion’s Head hike and thought hiking would be “our thing” for the summer (that … [Read more…]

The Highveld Splendour Boutique Hotel – Ermelo, Mpumalanga

November 9, 2013 by Rif 1 Comment

Ermelo is not a place that anyone associates with luxury – well, I certainly didn’t. Just a pleasant 2hour drive from OR Tambo in Joburg, this dusty place has a few things going on. I consider any place with a KFC a big town and if it has a Mugg n Bean, hell, it can … [Read more…]

A day in Doha, Qatar

November 7, 2013 by Rif 2 Comments

Thanks to the good folk at Qatar Airlines, I managed to buy a not sooooo expensive flight to Seoul in South Korea. One catch was the 20 hour (or so) stop-over in Doha. I have done stop-overs and I can say, like most people, I am not a fan (had a few bad experiences). So, … [Read more…]

The Taj Hotel & Bombay Brasserie, Cape Town

November 6, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 5 Comments

Don’t you hate call sales-agents? I really do. Especially when they are as convincing and persistent as the one from the Taste of Taj group. She called me on a referral from a colleague offering me this “amazing deal” where I can become an “elite” Taste of Taj member which entitled me to a free … [Read more…]

Chiang Mai: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Tour

November 6, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

According to a few reviews on TripAdvisor: “if you only have time to see one temple in northern Thailand, Doi Suthep is the one to see.” We started our tour early as it was quite a long drive up the lush green mountainside to get to Doi Suthep. Our first stop was a rural hillside … [Read more…]
