Welcome!

My name is Chris Ross and I thought I would create a blog about my past travels around the country and around the world and hopefully my upcoming vacations plans as well.

To start off this week I think I will talk about my latest trip to South Africa! First off I would definitely recommend South Africa as a destination for anybody. There is so much culture and history that you can feel it as soon as you land. During my trip, I spent about a week in Johannesburg and a few days in Cape Town. This I believe is the way to go, I spent 2 weeks over there and still missed out on a lot.

Heres a quick recap of everything I did:
Johannesburg-
New Nelson Mandela Statue
Nelson Mandela's House
Nelson Mandela Square
Apartheid Museum
Lesedi's African Lodge & Cultural Center
Sun City
KWA MADWALA Game Reserve
Orlando Pirates FC game

Cape Town-
Cape Town Waterfront
Table Mountain
Seal Island
Stellenbosch Wine Farms
Cape Point
(Planned to go to Robben Island but sadly it was closed)

Overall this trip was amazing and I would tell anybody who can make the trip to stay as long as you can so you can hit up everything there is to do in this wonderful land.
