A few weeks ago I learned a new expression, "away sick", it is of course the opposite of homesick. This struck a chord in me, I tend to feel away sick often and take every opportunity to travel when possible, so much that my colleagues at work always ask; were are you going this time? when I mention it´s time for vacation.
The trip could be long or short and I enjoy traveling to new places near and far. Thankfully my husband and I share this interest and we try to always have "the next trip" booked to have something to look forward to.
Two other interests we share is food and wine! When traveling you can always learn more about the food and wine culture in the new place you are in. Mind you, we are no experts of wine, but we know what we like and are always eager to learn more.
Why this blog?
Well, we want to share in our experiences and perhaps get a few tips a long the way from other people. This will in some ways also be a kind of diary to not forget all the different places we have been to. The posts will be a mix of current trips, food and wine, but also past experiences we want to share.
To start of I want to share a picture from a wine-tasting we did in Franschhoek, South Africa in February.
We went on the Wine-tram and stopped at Franschhoek Cellar to do a Pinotage tasting. Pinotage is a favorite grape and here we found a new favorite Pinotage wine Bernard Series – Bush Vine Pinotage.
A part from tasting the wines they paired the wines with nuts and biltong. This gave a uniq fantastic blend of the South Africas own grape Pinotage and tastes of their snacks.
