I highly recommend Bernie & Petra for all their recommendations. I enjoy following these two travel bloggers.
My family and I travelled to Cape Town. We stayed at the Station House, one of their recommended destinations, and loved the view. Next to the Hotel is a Pick-a-Pay Express. We enjoyed a cocktail at Sonny and Irene. We had dinner at The Nines, a rooftop restaurant with a view. The beach is within walking distance. We did a few early morning walks along the promenade. We visited V & A Waterfront with so many shops to choose from. We wanted to do a sunset cruise, but it was fully booked; we had to book well in advance, as you suggested. We will surely use your website for any future travel plans.
Good luck Michelle & Family

"We just came across your website through your article on Kruger NP. We are researching the end of a tour we are taking through Namibia, Botswana and ending in Victoria Falls. We want to spend a few days in Victoria Falls, camp a couple of nights in Chobe then go to Nelspruit and take a two night safari tour into Kruger.
We found your article very useful."
All the best

Dear Travel Buddies,
Thank you for your valuable blog article about the Prison Break Market in Johannesburg. I found the article to be incredibly informative and helpful.
I went to visit the market, and what a treat it was. A wonderful day was spent with family and friends enjoying local South African crafters and scrumptious meals.
Thank you again for sharing your experiences with us. I'm sure I'll be revisiting your site for more articles you write about things to do in South Africa.
Sincerely,
Jacques
