Destination of the month - May 2010
Destination of the month: Barcelona, Spain. Any time of the year is good to visit Barcelona but the city especially shines in the springtime. Renowned for its beautiful setting and architectural stylings, Barcelona attracts visitors from across the globe.

Destination of the month - March 2010
Destination of the month: Egypt. Egypt is known throughout the world as being an exciting and phenomenal tourist destination, however for much of the year temperatures in the region can deter travellers. This makes March a good time to visit as temperatures rarely break the 100 Degrees Fahrenheit mark (this is still Egypt).
Egypt has several must see locations. Most notably of course are the great Pyramids in Giza along with the sights of Cairo. Another place that should be high on any traveler’s list is Luxor with its captivating Valley of The Kings. Once you’ve had enough of the antiquities you would be wise to check out Egypt’s stunning red sea coast by visiting Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh on the Sinai.

Destination of the month - January 2010
Destination of the month: Cartagena, Colombia. Much of the northern hemisphere is in a serious cold snap at the moment which means it’s a great time to head south towards the equator. Cartagena is located on the Caribbean about a thousand miles north of the equator and has beautiful weather this month with temperatures regularly being in the 80’s or mid-20’s Celsius. Cartagena is sometimes called the ‘Cancun of South America’ and is known for its charming old town and stunning beaches.

Destination of the month - November 2009
Destination of the month: Rajasthan, India. Rajasthan is a state located in the northwestern part of India. It’s primarily a desert region known for its unique culture, historic palaces and forts and its amazing landscape. The state is also home to two national tiger reserves, and several holy sites of the Hindu and Jain religions.
As it is a desert region, visitors to Rajasthan have to be careful to avoid the extreme temperatures. It’s not advised to visit the region during the summer months, with temperatures being most comfortable from October-April. However November is one of the best times to visit Rajasthan as the weather is cool but it’s before the tourist high season which starts in December.
I’ll be in Rajasthan for the entire month of November; I’m making a circular route covering the state in its entirety. I’ll make sure to let everyone know how my trip turns out.

Destination of the month - October 2009
Destination of the month: Sydney, New South Wales. Sydney is a world class city that should be on everyone’s ‘must see’ list of travel destinations. There’s a beautiful harbour, some wonderful beaches, and a vibrant local culture. And October, in the southern hemisphere’s spring, is as good a time as any to visit Sydney.

Question: If in Stellenbosch on a Sunday, what sort of places will be open for business? Would we be able to find a rental place for a car-rental? Would we get petrol on a Sunday? Would Wine farms be open for visiting on a Sunday? Would we have to phone ahead? Please let me know, thank you.
